    Dave Missenchin was working on a new programming language, "--C++", which is everything in C++ without all of the stuff in C. Fred said why didn't he just call it "++". He said that's no use, because he needs credit for getting rid of something everybody was using, and if he called it that, it wouldn't make him famous. So, Fred said he was going to go out and start giving lectures on the differences between (--C)++ and --(C++), and said that Dave was actually trying to invent (C--)++ and wouldn't listen to Dave when he said that it was really --C(++) but that his compiler won't let you typecast from right to left so he couldn't write it that way. Dave was so upset that he almost shot himself in the chin again. (You all know who Dave is; he's the one they invented that (:-)-- emoticon to symbolize.) :suss:

        Equally plagiarised (and probably from the same place): What's wrong with the following code?

        public class woman()
        {
        public woman()
        {
        }
        }
        ...
        woman randomChick = new woman();

        Answer: Women don't like to be treated as objects.

        Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

                  Women want things? New frying pans and irons I assume*! :-) * For god's sake don't tell the wife I said this or I won't be allowed out

                    Actually, if I tell your missus, you won't be allowed in.

                      In the end of execution, its going to be C again, isn't?(I suspect my coding skills at this time of night)

                        If she finds out, she'll probably introduce your private parts to these new pans and irons...
