    We really do not have enough Fools around. The role of the Fool is important: He is the only one who can tell the king the truth without being beheaded on the spot. Have a look at the worthwhile book form David Firth and Alan Leigh: "The Corporate Fool".

    You could say I set the $bar for what constitutes a $foo. :-)

    Just another Perl hooker - And definitely not the kind with any $class whatsoever.

    ...when I forgot to enable use strict; use warnings;.

    The Fool perceived is not always the Fool that is

    ...the majority is always wrong, and always the last to know about it...

    A solution is nothing more than a clearly stated problem...

    Do you see one wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than him. (Proverbs 26:12)

    But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 (NASB)

    It's embarrassing to admit i was a fool. But afterwards, laughing at it is so much fun.
