Only those with Fortran experience may get this one:

God is Real unless declared Integer

Similar for binary:

There are only 10 kinds of people - those who understand binary and those
who don't.

Many years ago I saw an article proposing an extension to control structures
to augment GOTO called COMEFROM which would intercept control from remote
parts of code.  It looked real promising (unfortunately I don't have the
original-anyone have it?).

>>May be we should all learn COBOL :).

I did COBOL programming before. That was 6 years ago and I worked as a 
programmer analyst in Hitachi Consumer Pte Ltd for 8 months in Singapore 
fixing Y2K issues in mainframe. Some was JCL(Job control language). That 
was a nightmare to me. I am glad that I left that job. I will not go back 
to Cobol again, no matter how much will I get paid. :)

Leigh
