Thinking of how I get when I have been coding for a particularly long
stint in the context of the following:

In article <92698@sun.uucp> khb@fatcity.Sun.COM
>	i = ieee_handler("set","common",SIGFPE_ABORT)

I can't help but think of a sound I make when encountering the bug-that-
broke-the-camel's-back (specifically, "ieee", pronounced (rather loudly)
"eye-eeeeeeeeee").  It is nice to note that someone has an ieee_handler
to service appropriately such interjections.

they when *I* don't even know what I'm talking about???)
