Wow! At first I was ROTFLMAO. But then I found the response is the same
if you give it "joe smith" ;( Oh well, still amusing (and take a look
through the other suggested phrases while you're at it.)
This isn't an easter egg at all (nor are the half-dozen "jokes" like this
I've
seen floating around). It's just that phrase isn't in the thesaurus so the
closest thing it found alphabetically was a phrase beginning with "I'll".
There is no intended meaning coorelation; because it didn't understand the
meaning of the original phrase, it fell back on finding something
lexicographically close rather than close in meaning.
