Some years back I was in a meeting with a bunch of IT types, and one of the mentioned that he had to decompose the program. Having heard the joke about Ludvig decomposing music, I quickly figured out what he meant without making a fool out of myself.

Then I said, "I guess that's a pretty rotten job." Not ONE, not ONE of those people got it. And it was at that point that I realized I was really beginning to look forward to retiring.
