( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
My father arrived at Basic Training for the United States Navy in 1952. All of the new meat was lined up, and an NCO walked the line getting basic information. He reached my father, and the exchange went like this:

NCO: "Name: last, first, middle initial".

Dad: "Lappin, Arthur".

NCO: "Have you forgotten your middle name Lappin, Arthur?"

Dad: "No, Chief Petty Officer. I don't have one."

NCO: "What is your CHRISTIAN name, Lappin, Arthur?"

Dad: "I'm a Jew, Chief Petty Officer. I don't *have* a Christian name."

NCO: "From now on, your middle initial is NMI (No Middle Initial)! Now get down and give me 50 push-ups!"

Dad made certain his children had middle names...

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
