The Old Joel on Software Forum: Part 5 (of 5)

2 Strings..

Two strings walk into a bar.
Bar tender says to one string, "What'll it be?"
The string replies, "Gimme a beer (mJ%D98n#.. @@@@@^ewuio HFln3.s SSSS? b"
The other string says, "You'll have to excuse my friend. He's not null-terminated."

No, the other string says, 54, "You'll have to excuse my friend. He's not null-terminated."

A piece of string walk in to a bar and asks for a drink.
"Are you a string?", asks the barman.
"Yes I am".
"Sorry, we don't serve strings."
The string walks out.

Undaunted, the string ruffles his ends and twists and doubles up, then goes back into the bar and asks for a drink.
The barman eyes him suspiciously.
"Are you a string?"
"No. I'm a frayed knot".

Ba boom. Groan...

Alex --

The other variant of that would be:

No, the other string says, 54, "You'll have to excuse my friend. He's not null-terminated."0

We all know f#cked-strings, right? ;-)

Chris, I'm certainly not speaking for this group, but I've found that people will tend to be more responsive if you don't have advertising contained in your posts.

I'm certain your intentions are pure, but it can come across as spam at times.
