Grandpa Charnock's Law: You never really learn to swear until you learn to drive. Grelb's Reminder: Eighty percent of all people consider themselves to be above average drivers. If everything is coming your way then you're in the wrong lane. If you don't care where you are, then you ain't lost. Ken Thompson has an automobile which he helped design. Unlike most automobiles, it has neither speedometer, nor gas gage, nor any of the numerous idiot lights which plague the modern driver. Rather, if the driver makes any mistake, a giant "?" lights up in the center of the dashboard. "The experienced driver", he says, "will usually know what's wrong." Losing your drivers' license is just God's way of saying "BOOGA, BOOGA!" |
