N. Wirth's textbook Algorithms + data structures programs (1976) contains the following story in the chapter of dynamic information structures , The story tells a man who describes the misery of his life in the following
words:-

" I married a widow who had a grown-up daughter. my father, who visited us quite often, fell in love with my step daughter and married her. hence, my father became my son-in-law, and my step-daughter became my mother. some months later, my wife gave birth to a son, who became the brother in law of my father as well as my uncle.

The wife of my father, tht is my step daughter, also had a son. thereby, i got a brother and at the same time a grandson. my wife is my grandmother, since she is my mother's mother. hence, i am my wife's husband and at the same time her step-grandson; in other words, i am my own grandfather. "

I guess thats why we don't have pointer in Java...

A little girl in a school in USSR was asked to use "communist" in a sentence. She said, "My cat just had a litter of kittens and they are all communists."

A month later the same little girl was asked to use the word "capitalist" in a sentence. She said: "My cat had a litter of kittens and now they are capitalists."

The teacher was shocked and ask what had happened to the kittens. The little girl responded: "Well they have opened their eyes now!"

The mafia was looking for a new man to make weekly collections from all the private businesses that they were 'protecting'. Feeling the heat from the police force, they decide to use a deaf person for this job ; if he were to get caught, he wouldn't be able to communicate to the police what he was doing.

Well, on his first week, the deaf collector picks up over $40,000. He gets greedy, decides to keep the money and stashes it in a safe place. The mafia soon realizes that their collection is late, and sends some of their hoods after the deaf collector.

The hoods find the deaf collector and ask him where the money is. The deaf collector can't communicate with them, so the mafia drags the guy to an interpreter.

The mafia hood says to the interpreter, "Ask him where da money is." The interpreter signs,"Where's the money?"

The deaf replies, "I don't know what you're talking about."

The interpreter tells the hood,"He says he doesn't know what you're talking about"

The hood pulls out a .38 and places it in the ear of the deaf collector. "NOW ask him where the money is."

The interpreter signs, "Where is the money?"

The deaf replies, "The $40,000 is in a tree stump in Central Park."

The interpreter's eyes light up and says to the hood, "He says he still doesn't know what you're talking about, and doesn't think you can pull the trigger."
