    Got this in my mail just now :) I really like the third one :laugh: Programming is like sex: One mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life. A man is smoking a cigarette and blowing smoke rings into the air. His girlfriend becomes irritated with the smoke and says, “Can’t you see the warning on the cigarette pack? Smoking is hazardous to your health!” To which the man replies, “I am a programmer. We don’t worry about warnings; we only worry about errors.” A programmer is walking along a beach and finds a lamp. He rubs the lamp, and a genie appears. “I am the most powerful genie in the world. I can grant you any wish, but only one wish.” The programmer pulls out a map, points to it and says, “I’d want peace in the Middle East.” The genie responds, “Gee, I don’t know. Those people have been fighting for millenia. I can do just about anything, but this is likely beyond my limits.” The programmer then says, “Well, I am a programmer, and my programs have lots of users. Please make all my users satisfied with my software and let them ask for sensible changes.” At which point the genie responds, “Um, let me see that map again.”

    It's an OO world.

      You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

          I really like the one with the genie. I have seen it before, but it is so apposite in a programming forum. :-D

          Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.
