Techie humour

[thirdworld]

A guy at work emailed us all with the following plea yesterday:

> I'm glad to report I'm on the upswing from my pulmonary-crippling
> phage, and back in the saddle again. A bonus from that unpleasant
> experience is that I have not had a cigarette since Monday morning. I'm
> using the patch as needed and hoping to stay "quitted". Any moral
> support you can offer will probably prove priceless in this endeavor, so
> I'm letting you know I'd be grateful for any encouragement you can spare.

To which I replied (slightly modified to protect his anonymity):

$soon_to_be_ex_smoker += $phage + $patch;
$soon_to_be_ex_smoker += $encouragement_from_grant;
$quit = true;

while $quit = true {
$soon_to_be_ex_smoker += $more_grant_encouragement;
}

Okay, now that that's taken care of...

Well, I thought I was cute/funny. Maybe I should have added a couple of extra lines, but I decided not to add any "$quit = false;" logic.
