Humour me, Rick. Pretend I've been awake for 22 hours straight, am
wired on sleep-deprivation and energy drinks, and have no idea what
you're talking about. How exactly does the ability to dynamically
determine which exception to catch coddle a functional paradigm, and
how is it not object oriented?

Also, my face doesn't much care for my nose. It gets in the way. If I
cut my nose off, my face would be happy with me.
