Ian's Humor Pages
This is where I keep some humor articles which I wrote.
I decided to make a place to start posting them on the web.
I'll try to dig for more old ones.
And I'll post new ones here as I come up with more.
- Poem.c
(1986)
- Use the C preprocessor to make programs readable
(but give no hint what they actually do.)

(1992)
- One practical joke that actually went as planned...

- What's life really like in Silicon Valley? This pokes some fun at it
and nails a few quirks on the head.

dolphins for minesweeping in the Gulf War II.
