in reply to Perl as an intro to programming

Tell him right away that if he wants to get laid sooner than when he gets about thirty, has a well paying job and the females in his age group start to build the nests and look for someone who can provide money for the kids rather than fun for the chick, he'd better forget programming and do something that girls understand and appreciate. Whether it is the game of the oversized dumb (american football), the game of the overgrown (basketball) or some other sport popular in whereever he lives. If he's not tall or dumb enough he can try ballroom dancing. He'll be made fun of by the guys, but there tends to be enough good looking girls in the area.
