My FBI file is bigger than your FBI file.

What? You don't believe me? 
There are some other sigs I can use. I'm afraid I have no choice but to sell you all for scientific experiments. Bush is listening. Use big words. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not to their own facts. You put your hand on the Bible and swear to protect the Constitution, not the other way around. Everyone is unique, but not you. If it goes away when you remember to take your meds, it probably isn't a character flaw. It's all right. We weren't using those civil liberties anyway.
But this one probably fits here best: It's ok to look. If I didn't want you to look, I'd have worn a different outfit.
I had quite the signature file in my usenet days.
A program is used to convert data into error messages. A.A.A.A.A. American Association Against Acronym Abuse. Airplane: Lots of parts flying in close formation. DADDY,WHAT DOES FORMATING C: MEAN? DCLXVI - Roman numeral of the beast ... Now that I have a grip on reality I can strangle it. 1 = 2 for large values of 1 & very small values of 2. 747's are nice, but cars don't fall down 30,000 feet. Ever wanted to go to a UNIX box and type PING PONG? Genitalia is NOT an Italian Airline!!!!!! no...No...NO.....I said *pluck* the Turkey!!!! Nurse!, You done it backwards, I said prick his boil
Ahh, memories.

The number of people who's jobs is "just" coding is tiny in my experience. Most professional programming is tweaking or customizing already existing code and tech support/bug fixing type stuff. I've had two jobs that were "officially" programming and in both of them I spent most of my time talking with clients/end users just figuring out what they were actually doing and what they wanted to have happen. The next most time consuming part of the job was just using the program myself without actually looking at the source code, trying to duplicate what the end users were doing and getting.
Either way. I couldn't have a career that revolves around it. Besides, programming jobs here don't pay very well.
I actually seem to have an affinity for it. I seem to be able to understand what the users are trying to say and communicate well with them, so I can find out what they feel the problem actually is. (Rule of thumb: Never trust the initial bug report to be accurate.) And then I can "zone in" to the code and find problems that makes even the people who wrote it go "Huh! You're right, that is wrong."
Well, you've obviously found your niche, and I respect you for that. It's just not for me.
Ya, problem is that no one in the US want's to hire people for that anymore.
