How doth the VAX's C-compiler
Improve its object code.
And even as we speak does it
Increase the system load.
How patiently it seems to run
And spit out error flags,
While users, with frustration, all
Tear all their clothes to rags.

A disciple of another sect once came to Drescher as he was
eating his morning meal. "I would like to give you this personality

Man, n.:
An animal so lost in rapturous contemplation of what he thinks

however, multiplies with such insistent rapidity as to infest the whole
habitable earth and Canada.
-- Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary"
