Real men can program in whatever language they are given!

Real men crank out structured assembly code (Yes! Such an animal exists!
Use lots of procedures, have *very* local loops, and comment your
code like a madman!).

Real men can make Basic look pretty.

Real men *can* use fourth generation languages, and probably would,
given the chance, but they don't *need* to use them. Unlike so
many wimps who cringe at the thought of using languages like BASIC or
assembler, Real men just do it; and they do it right.

And don't anybody try to give me the academic definition of structured
languages. I know what control structures are necessary to make a
language structured in that sense. Still, one can put a *great deal*
of structure by using certain methods of coding, and, most importantly,
using one's brain while programming.
