SPUG: A morality tale of Perl versus Python

[Hartman, Karl B]

Yup, just humor.  But the response does show how we become emotionally attached to what we do.  That's why many of us in this field have a hard time becoming detached from work stuff.  

If you have any questions or comments, don't hesitate to call.

It's easier to spend the money in your grandfather's pocket,
than the money in your own pocket.
