It would be so much easier if programs didn't have to produce correct results 
at all, or be friendly to the user at all, because then we all could write ten 
times as much code in half the time.

Damn that requirement for correct, useful action!

Where do you come up with this stuff, Larry-boy?  Is it a case of, "Let me say 
the thing that is so off-the-wall and contrary to any good sense or logic that 
it's absolutely guaran-damn-TEED to incite a reaction"?  Because that's how it 
looks, Larry-boy.
