Well, my favorite joke of this ilk goes something like this: These two strings walk into a bar. The first one says "May I please have a beer?" The bartender says, "Sure. How about you, buddy?" The second string says "Sure*&^#^H^A0000 divide by zero error" And the first one says, "Oh, you'll have to excuse my friend; he's not null-terminated." If this doesn't make you laugh, have a 'C' programmer try to explain it to you. You still probably won't laugh, but it will be fun to watch the explanation.
