Couldn't that get a mite dangerous?  :^)

I tend to close the trunk by pushing down on the middle brake light.  So
far, I haven't noticed any dents.  (And believe me, I'd notice them...
:^)

THE LESSER-KNOWN PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES #17 -- SARTRE

	Named after the late existential philosopher, SARTRE is an
extremely unstructured language.  Statements in SARTRE have no purpose;
they just are.  Thus SARTRE programs are left to define their own
functions.  SARTRE programmers tend to be boring and depressed, and are
no fun at parties.
