in thread Does Humor Belong in Programming?

This conversation is going too meta for me. :)

Edit: Added the (famous) limerick below and changed to to too too. Two Os are better than one, i guess:

A tutor who tooted the flute
Tried to tutor two tooters to toot;
Said the two to the tutor,
“Is it harder to toot, or
To tutor two tooters to toot?”

    Meta? Did someone mention metahumour?

    • I’ve never meta-joke I didn’t like.1
    • A priest, a rabbi and a leprechaun walk into a bar. The leprechaun looks around and says, “Saints preserve us! I’m in the wrong joke!” 1
    • “The sources of quotes found on the internet are not always reliable.” — Abraham Lincoln.3; cf. 2
    • Condemn ambiguity and other stuff.3
    • Today’s Horoscope: “You are easily influenced by what you read and have the ability to make vague sentences somehow applicable to your own existence.” 1
    • There are three things an engineer has to master: 1. Estimation 3. Interpolation.3
    • To Joanna:
      My brilliant and beautiful wife without whom I would be nothing. She always comforts and consoles, never complains or interferes, asks nothing and endures all, and writes my dedications.
      — A.P. Malvino, Electronic Principles (1993)2,4
    • xkcd: Hofstadter
    • And now, Google for recursion (“Did you mean ...”)

    This conversation is going to meta for me. :)

    I think that is a fine destination, but I don't think it was headed there just as a service to you. ;)

      Too funny!

      Edited and noted.

      "...going to meta..."
