in reply to Speaking & Writing In Perl code

I do this to my wife every now and then. I can't recommend it to everyone, but it does make for some interesting mornings.

Wife: Do you have a busy day today? Me: Response = 1; Wife: What? Me: Goto PreviousResponse; Wife: Oh, jeez...not this again.... Me: While response = 1 { print "yes"} Wife: Nevermind. (sound of hair dryer.....)

The looks the kids give me during dinner are priceless.

Update: Changed line 4 to correct metadoktor's response. Original read "Me: Goto to PreviousResponse;" So, ++ to metadoktor.

If things get any worse, I'll have to ask you to stop helping me.

    Wife: Run-time error detected on line 4. Core dump.

    metadoktor

    "The doktor is in."

    Compared to mine, your wife sounds almost amused. My wife won't even stay in the same room when I'm discussing code on the phone with someone.

    My revenge is, of course, teaching the kids to code.
