Yeah, and never will - unless they stop trying to teach COBOL, I suppose.
(Only one class in Comp Sci taken there, and oh, the glories of EBCDIC.)
Oh, wait! A couple of relevant points:
1) I didn't make any racist remarks, unless you're such an idiot as to think
that Sweden is populated ONLY by Swedes, etc. etc. etc.
2) My limited college education doesn't have any relevance to the joke at
hand, nor does the college at which said education took place.
3) You should learn to look up "sarcasm" in the dictionary. It's quite
useful. If you already know how to look it up, or even possibly the word's
meaning (I know only us college-eddicated peoples know what it meanses),
then please apply said meaning to nearly everything in this thread. Thanks!
