    After an interminably long absence, I offer, herewith, another
    joke from my notebook:

	A genius and a programmer were discussing what should be done
	with the great mass of earth which had been excavated for the
	foundations of the monument, which one of them was then
	building.  The other said: "My friend, I have an excellent idea
	where to put it!  Give orders that a great pit be dug, and
	without further trouble it can be put into that."  He
	replied, not without laughter: "And where shall we put
	this earth that is excavated in digging this pit of yours?"
	Said the other, "Make it big enough to hold both."!!!
	And so, even though he repeated several times that the larger
	the pit was made, the more earth would be excavated, the
	man could never get it into his head that it could not be
	made big enough to hold both, and he replied nothing save
	"Make it much bigger!"!!!!!
