*** REPLACE THIS MESSAGE WITH YOUR ******* ***

A professor I know gave an extra credit problem on the final for a
compiler course.  The question was "write a compiler joke."  Here
are the ones that got extra credit:

Q. What do you call 4 compiler writes sitting around a table arguing?

A. Recursive dissent!


A compiler writer and a marriage counselor are having lunch.  The marriage
counsleor says "I have this couple who have a problem, and I just can't
seem to help them solve it!"

The sympathetic compiler writer says "Why don't you tell me their problem,
and maybe I can come up with something you hadn't thought of?"

"OK," begins the marriage counsleor, "they are both overweight, and it seems
the wife always jumps into bed first, right in the middle of the bed, and
she won't move over, so her husband has to sleep on the floor."

"Simple," replied the compiler writer, "they have a SHIFT/REDUCE conflict!"
