On: What is your best programmer joke?

[maggit]

I can't make up my mind about which of the following is better:

> A Chinese spy manages to steal the last 50MB of the program governing U.S. missile launches. Fortunately, it was all closing parentheses.

or

> A Chinese spy manages to steal the last 50MB of the program governing U.S. missile launches. Fortunately, it was Lisp.

A Chinese spy manages to steal the last 50MB of the program governing U.S. missile launches.

Fortunately it was in Lisp, so it was all closing parentheses.

[Danieru → maggit]

My attempt:

A Chinese spy stole the last 48MB of the Abram's targeting system. To our good fortunes this was only the closing parentheses.
