    G-day CybePope, how about error messages Mate!! '-)

        These are some of the error messages produced by Apple's MPW C
compiler. These are all real. (If you must know I was bored one
afternoon and decompiled the String resources for the compiler.) The
compiler is 324k in size so these are just an excerpt I hope. I'm not
sure where I stand on the copyright issue.

"String literal too long (I let you have 512 characters, that's 3 more
than ANSI said I should)"

"...And the lord said, 'lo, there shall only be case or default labels
inside a switch statement'"

"a typedef name was a complete surprise to me at this point in your
program"

"'Volatile' and 'Register' are not miscible"

"You can't modify a constant, float upstream, win an argument with the
IRS, or satisfy this compiler"

"This struct already has a perfectly good definition"

"This onion already has a perfectly good definition"

"type in (cast) must be scalar; ANSI 3.3.4; page 39,
lines 10-11 (I know you don't care, I'm just trying to annoy you)"

"Can't cast a void type to type void (because the ANSI spec. says so,
that's why)"

"Huh ?"

"can't go mucking with a 'void *'"

"we already did this function"

"This label is the target of a goto from outside of the block containing
this label AND this block has an automatic variable with an initializer
AND your window wasn't wide enough to read this whole error message"

"Call me paranoid but finding '/*' inside this comment makes me
suspicious"

"Too many errors on one line (make fewer)"

"Symbol table full - fatal heap error; please go buy a RAM upgrade from
your local Apple dealer"

  The teacher asked each member of her sixth-grade class to write
the names of nine outstanding Americans.  Ten minutes later, the teacher
saw that everyone but Earl had finished writing.

  "What's the matter, Earl?" the teacher asked.  "Can't you think
of nine great Americans?"

        "I have eight," Earl said.  "But I still need a second baseman."

  As the police officer helped the bruised young man from the
pavement, he asked, "Sir, can you describe the man who beat you?"

  "Of course," he said through several missing teeth. "In fact,
that's what I was doing when the son of a bitch slugged me."

  "Johnson," the boss said, "I happen to know that the reason you
didn't come to work yesterday was that you were out playing golf."

  "That's a rotten lie!" Johnson protested.  "And I have the fish
to prove it!"

  A young man took a speed-reading correspondence course and was
very pleased with the results.  He wrote to his mother telling her how
fast he could read and how much time it saved.  His mother replied in a
long letter, chatting about various events.

  In the middle of her letter she wrote, "Now that you've taken
that speed-reading course, I suppose you've probably already finished
this letter."

  Pat McHenry and his wife, Martha, were getting ready to leave
home for a vacation. Martha started out the door, then stopped and said,
"Pat, this time you check to see if the coffee pot is off, television
plugs are pulled, burglar alarm on, doors locked, and I'll go out and
blow the horn."
