    A Visual Basic programmer happens across a frog in the road. The frog pipes up, "I'm really a beautiful princess and if you kiss me, I'll stay with you for a week". The programmer shrugs his shoulders and puts the frog in his pocket. A few minutes later, the frog says "OK, OK, if you kiss me, I'll give you great sex for a week". The programmer nods and puts the frog back in his pocket. A few minutes later, "Turn me back into a princess and I'll give you great sex for a whole year!". The programmer smiles and walks on. Finally, the frog says, "What's wrong with you? I've promised you great sex for a year from a beautiful princess and you won't even kiss a frog?" "I'm a Visual Basic programmer," he replies. "I don't have sex....but a talking frog is pretty neat."

          Should be easy to isolate after all there can't be that many who use VB.

          All right, you guys, I got eight crates of Ipecac from Mort. All on my tab. Now, whoever goes the longest without puking gets the last piece of pie in the fridge.

                        Well, maybe he uses VB and he is a programmer. But that doesn't mean he is a "VB programmer". ;)

                        This statement is false.

                              Designed and implimented a retail banking system in VB a few years back currently work on a trading platform with a lot of VB front end components. So yes, I can write VB, but I prefer Java or C# poking an eye out with a shitty stick [ftfms].

                                    Well, if you are forced to use VB, you can always do like this:

                                    Dim code;
                                    code = "#include <stdafx.h>" & vbCRLF & _
                                    "int main()" & vbCRLF & _
                                    "{" & vbCRLF & _
                                    " // ... " & vbCRLF & _
                                    "}" & vbCRLF

                                        Well, maybe he uses VB and he is a programmer. But that doesn't mean he is a "VB programmer". ;)

                                        This statement is false.

                                        I think we need clarification on the direction of the dependency.

                                          Well, if you are forced to use VB, you can always do like this:

                                          Dim code;
                                          code = "#include <stdafx.h>" & vbCRLF & _
                                          "int main()" & vbCRLF & _
                                          "{" & vbCRLF & _
                                          " // ... " & vbCRLF & _
                                          "}" & vbCRLF

                                          ' TODO: RUN C Compiler

                                          Well, if I would able to understand VB syntax then I should say you know well VB syntax... :-D
