Hello Mr. Kernel

How would a conversation between a process and a kernel go?
Hmm...something like this...

------------------------------------------------------------
(program app) Hello Mr. Kernel, I was wondering if I could have some memory to run and play in?
(kernel) Hmm... Ok, but if you try to run outside the memory space allocate for you then I am going to stop you!
(program app) Ok then, it's a deal. . . . .
(kernel) Hey! I never gave you permission to write data in that memory segment, you will pay!
(program app) Oh no??.... I didn't mean it.. I.. I.. AHHHH.... ***Dead*** ( core dump ).
(kernel) Ask me next time you want to do something like that!
(kernel) When will those programs ever listen?!
