• Real computer scientists like C's structured constructs, but they are suspicious of it because its compiled.
  (Only Batch freaks and efficiency weirdos bother with compilers, they're soooo un-dynamic.)...
• Real software engineers don't write in ADA, because the standards bodies have not quite decided on a formal spec yet.
• Real software engineers write in languages that have not actually been implemented for any machine, and for which only the formal spec (in BNF) is available.
  This keeps them from having to take any machine dependencies into account....
• If it doesn't have recursive function calls, Real Software Engineers don't program in it.
• Real software engineers work from 9 to 5, because that is the way the job is described in the formal spec.
  Working late would feel like using an undocumented external procedure....
• Real software engineers don't comment their code. The identifiers are so mnemonic they don't have to.
