- Thankfully the question of C/C++ vs ADA is now put to rest. You don't
- know the sleepless nights I've spent worrying about the encroachment of
- ADA (not to mention C++). Since I am not yet proficient in C++, can
- someone please find an authoritative source to put down C++, pleasssseee?

- Oh man! Wait a minute! There's this homeless guy on the park bench
- outside... Wait just a sec...
-
- <Time passes>
-
- ... Whew! Let me catch my breath... The homeless guy says that C++ is not
- as good as 'C'. Thankfully another one put to rest.
-
- You know, I never did like the "++" in "C++" - I think it should have
- been on the other side like "++C" or better yet, "++C++". Any other
- contributions from the 'C' programming crowd to further denigrate C++
- would be appreciated. Maybe we could make 'em use a different letter or
- something.

- Question: Hey, what's the difference between a C and a C++ programmer?
- Answer: A 'C' programmer understands the problem being solved. A 'C++'
- programmer is the problem! Hardy-har-har! I just kill myself.
-
- Question: Why do 'C++' programmers prefer to eat flies and slugs on
- the top floor of a building?
- Answer: So they can fling themselves off the roof at the first sight
- of a bug. Oh boy! I'm going on the road with these...

- Just blowing off some pent up weekly pressure,
