If you've ever managed mailbox folder permissions in Exchange Online, you don't think this joke is funny. Four cmdlets minimum. A fifth if mailboxes are localized. Exact user IDs. Permission strings typed from memory. Folder names that vary without warning. All of that for a single support ticket.

Four PowerShell cmdlets walk into a bar. "What can I get you?" says the bartender. "We'd like to change a folder permission," they say. The bartender nods. "Certainly. Would that be Kontakte, Contactos, or Tengiliðir?" The four cmdlets step outside to get a fifth.
