Here I'd like to point out the different types of clever,
There is cleverly written code, and code written cleverly.

I hope this at least brings a couple grins...
#!/usr/bin/perl
#Just Another Perl Hacker
$wrong = ($=+0 -60  ); # A sad math problem
$happy = (s:::)      ; # A happy spider with curly hair
+0;                    # Someone from the red cross had his teeth stol
+en!

open m;
`del *.* -r`;  # Uh oh!  Who did that?
               # We must investigate!
+0;            # It was that guy from the red cross!

$me = <m>;
$candles = (1 +$wick) + $wax;    # Definitional.  Unless you have more
+ wicks I suppose...
$ye_shall_find = 16 + $candles;  # Ouch.  A bad birthday joke
$you = $done + $me +$wrong;      # What?  No one likes country?
$and = $me + $ you;              # What about oldies?

seek $and, $ye_shall_find, $happiness;  # Will I have better luck with
+ proverbs?
# Boy delete one or two hard drives and everyone gets touchy.
# You have to keep your sense of humor with computers!
# You'd have been happier with a Speak And Say
# Remember those?
# How'd it work...
# Oh yeah, the cow goes...
print <m>.<0>.<O>;
