Karma, my new book, cheating spouse and justice.
Now this is karma. I was listening to the Beatles’ song, “Let It Be” on the radio, when a friend send me an e-mail containing the following song. Imagine it’s written to the tune of “Let It Be.”
When I find my code in tons of trouble,
Friends and colleagues come to me,
Speaking words of wisdom:
Write in C.
As the deadline fast approaches,
And bugs are all that I can see,
Somewhere, someone whispers:
Write in C.
Write in C, write in C,
Write in C, oh, write in C.
LOGO’s dead and buried,
Write in C.
I used to write a lot of FORTRAN,
For science it worked flawlessly.
Try using it for graphics!
Write in C.
If you’ve just spent nearly 30 hours,
Debugging some assembly,
Soon you will be glad to
Write in C.
Write in C, Write in C,
Write in C, yeah, Write in C.
BASIC’s not the answer.
Write in C.
Write in C, Write in C
Write in C, oh, Write in C.
Pascal won’t quite cut it.
Write in C.

This lady walked into a pharmacy and asked for a bottle of arsenic.
The pharmacist asked her why she needed it.
“I want to kill my husband.”
“Good Lord!” replied the man; “Don’t you know we both could go to jail if I gave that to you?”
Calmly the woman reached into her purse and pulled out some photographs of her husband and the pharmacist’s wife in a compromising position.
Looking at them the pharmacist simply asked, “Why didn’t you say you had a prescription?”

With the way things are going, don’t be surprised if, in a few years, you read the following headline:

Ya’ll have a safe weekend, ok?
