Microsoft recruiter knocks on heaven's (wrong) door

A Microsoft recruiter gets a biting response when he tries to land an open-source leader.
Knock, Knock!
Who is there?
Microsoft..errr...
Go to hell!!!

Actually, the following quote is what was said;
"What were you going to do with the rest of your afternoon, offer jobs to Richard Stallman [founder of the Free Software Foundation] and Linus Torvalds [the 'father' of Linux]? Or were you going to stick to something easier, like talking Pope Benedict into presiding at a Satanist orgy? ... On the day *I* go to work for Microsoft, faint oinking sounds will be heard from far overhead, the moon will not merely turn blue but develop polkadots, and hell will freeze over so solid the brimstone will go superconductive."
