Language wars continued....
I copied the last to jokes about shooting yourself in the foot in various
languages to BIX. Here are their additions.
{ed Please, no more, unless they are darn good.}
Prolog: You attempt to shoot yourself in the foot, but the bullet, failing
to find its mark, backtracks into the gun which then explodes in
your face. <BG>
Forth: yourself foot shoot. <akarna>
DBase: You squeeze the trigger, but the bullet moves so slowingly that by the
time your foot feels the pain you've forgotten why you shot
yourself anyway. <rboatright>
DBase IV version 1.0: You pull the trigger, but it turns out that the gun was
a poorly-designed granade and the whole building blows up.
<akarna>
CLIPPER: You grab a bullet, get ready to insert it in the gun so that you
can shoot yourself in the foot, and discover that the gun that the
bullet fits has not yet been built, but should be arriving in the mail
_REAL_SOON_NOW_. <rboatright>
SQL: You cut your foot off, send it out to a service bureau and when it
returns, it has a hole in it, but will no longer fit the attachment at
the end of your leg. <rboatright>
ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE: For those who like to load their own rounds before shooting
themselves in the foot. <rhsmith>
