Shoot Yourself in the Foot • C++: It’s harder to shoot yourself in the foot, but when you do, you usually blow your whole leg off. • Ada: After correctly packaging your foot, you concurrently load the gun, pull the trigger, scream and shoot yourself in the foot. When you try, however, you discover that your foot is the wrong type.
Shoot Yourself in the Foot • COBOL: You try to shoot yourself in the foot, but the gun won’t fire unless it is aligned in column 8. • Visual Basic: You'll shoot yourself in the foot, but you'll have so much fun doing it that you won't care. • Objective-C: You write a protocol for shooting yourself in the foot so that all people can get shot in their feet.
