The origin of the YALP, YALJB, and other "Yet anothers" is the UN*X
utility (futility?) called YACC, which stands for "Yet Another
Compiler-Compiler." Other "Yet Anothers..." on the net are word-plays
on this utility's name.

Now for the required joke:

Especially the Olds Diesels. The owner's handbook, as I recall,
recommends changing the diesel engine every 12 months or 12,000 miles.
It's best practice, however, to change the engine whenever it gets dirty.
