For more in this vein, not of a LISPish nature, see "Zen Comics", author
unknown. There are several volumes. One comic I remember in particular is
where the Teacher and the Student go on a picnic by a stream, and eat their
lunch without speaking. When they return, the teacher asks the student what
he heard. "Nothing," replies the Student.  "Oh, how quickly you advance!" 
marvels the Teacher jokingly. "It was many years before I could hear Nothing!"
The Student is Enlightened.

Another is a lecture on the Zen Philosophy.  It is in a small university lecture
hall, and the Teacher enters the stage, which is bare except for a table. The
Teacher raises his walking stick, and strikes the table sharply. Then he walks
off the stage. The audience is shown confused, with some members alarmed, and
a single member Enlightened.
