Warning:
Euphoria *un-related* material ahead, just a funny story I would like to
share, the structure thread was making me tense ;)
A man takes the day off work and decides to go out golfing. He is on the
second hole when he notices a frog sitting next to the green. He thinks
nothing of it and is about to shoot when he hears, Ribbit 9 Iron." The man
looks around and doesn't see anyone. Again, he hears, "Ribbit 9 Iron." He
looks at the frog and decide to prove the frog wrong, puts the club away,
and grabs a iron. Boom! He hits it 10 inches from the cup. He is shocked.
He says to the frog, "Wow that's amazing. You must be a lucky frog,eh?
The frog reply's, "Ribbit Lucky frog."
The man decides to take the frog with him to the next hole. What do you
think frog?," the man asks. "Ribbit 3 wood." The guy takes out a 3 wood
and, Boom! Hole in one. The man is befuddled and doesn't know what to say.
By the end of the day, the man golfed the best game of golf in his life and
asks the frog, "OK where to next? The frog replies, "Ribbit Las
Vegas."
They go to Las Vegas and the guy says, "OK frog, now what?" The frog says,
"Ribbit Roulette." Upon approaching the roulette table, the man asks,
"What do you think I should bet?" The frog replies, "Ribbit $3000, black
6." Now, this is a million-to-one shot to win, but after the golf game, the
man figures what the heck. Boom! Tons of cash comes sliding back across
the table. The man takes his winnings and buys the best room in the hotel.
He sits the frog down and says, "Frog, I don't know how to repay you.
You've won me all this money and I am forever grateful". The frog replies,
"Ribbit Kiss Me." He figures why not, since after all the frog did for
him, he deserves it. With a kiss, the frog turns into a gorgeous
15-year-old girl. "And that, your honor, is how the girl ended up in my
room. So help me God or my name is not William Jefferson Clinton."
The origination of this letter is unknown, but it brings good luck to
everyone who passes it on. The one who breaks the chain will have bad
luck. Do not keep this. Do not send money. Just forward it to five of
your friends to whom you wish good luck. You will see that something good
happens to you four MINUTES from now if the chain is not broken. YOU WILL
RECEIVE GOOD LUCK IN FOUR MINUTES.

Sheesh, and I thought putting structures into Euphoria was bad. What the
hell is a friggin' chain letter doing on the Euphoria mailing list?!?!?

Just a bit of humor Gabriel. As your reply denote, you've also became a bit
tense with this thread. Over our differences (about structures) we're all
fellow (Euphoria) programmers. I thought to share this humoristic letter
with my fellow programmers: life is more than structures/no structures :)
Have a nice day!

I would agree with your last statement. However, I don't think this is the
proper forum for chain letters, no matter how humorous they are. Yes, chain
letters are a pet peeve of mine, so that's why I overreacted here. :)
