Also, after learning PostScript, you laugh _really_ hard at the
PostScript entry within the classic 'You shoot yourself in the foot' [with
various programming languages] list:

   foot bullets 6 locate loadgun aim gun shoot showpage

It's that punch-line ending of 'showpage' at the end -- the PostScript 
keyword saying this routine is finished and a page should be now ejected
-- that really makes it.
