Think of all the lawyers that would be out of work if not for stupid people and frivolus lawsuits. Do you really want packs of unemployed ferral lawyers roaming the streets?

LOL....having to use COBOL on a day to day basis. I went insane after using it 2 and a half hours a day for 9 weeks.


Gone insane over using COBOL? Must be LMF (Lack of Moral Fibre)! Hasnīt happened to me yet after 20 years. Yikes! Iīm playing WitP - does that count as having gone insane?

Seriously - while COBOL is rather verbose (worse than BASIC), it gets the job done, gives you good control of data structures and records, built-in decimal arithmetic without any cumulating errors due to rounding effects, the compilers are generally stable and donīt put curious little side effects into your programs for your amusement (and to make debugger sellers rich). Since COBOL85, you donīt even have to use GO TO anymore, if you donīt want to.

I have, however, the deepest compassion and sympathy for those who have to write stable, complex applications using C++ - their work is never done.

BTW, IIRC they (SSI) wrote "Carrier Strike" on Turbo Pascal. Maybe, if they hadnīt switched to C and C++, it wouldnīt take so long to fix the bugs in WitP.

Only if we could declare open season on the critters a couple times a year.

So, you're in a locked room - no way out - with a lawyer and a man-eating tiger. You've got a gun with two bullets in it. What do you do?

Shoot the lawyer - twice - just to be sure.

Good one.

Nobody knows - there are some things snakes absolutely refuse to do.

The engineer replied, "But before that, God created the heavens and the earth from chaos, in less than a week. You have to admit that was a remarkable feat of engineering, and that makes engineering an older profession than medicine."

The lawyer smirked, and said, "Who do you think created the chaos?"

As they walked down one street, the holy man saw a huge mansion, much more opulent than anything he had seen, and he inquired about why it was so fancy. "Well," said St. Peter, "That's where a lawyer lives." The holy man was aghast. "St. Peter, why does a lawyer, of all people, deserve such a wonderful palace in which to live here in heaven?" St. Peter said, "Do you realize how few lawyers get in here?"
