Comment(by isforinsects):

 A five line script placed in terminal's /bin would solve the issue for the
 time being.  At the very least it would save a *lot* of trouble for the
 support team walking users through commands.

 "highlight this"
 "copy it"
 "Type pbpaste"

 That would be a lot easier than asking someone to type 40+ characters of
 (to them) gibberish.

 {{{
 #!/usr/bin/python
 import gtk
 import pygtk
 cb = gtk.clipboard_get(selection = "PRIMARY")
 print cb.wait_for_text()
 }}}
