• 1. Specifications are for the weak and timid!
• 1. This machine is a piece of GAGH! I need dual Pentium processors if I am

to do battle with this code!

• 1. You cannot really appreciate Dilbert unless you’ve read it in the

original Klingon.

• 1. Indentation?! – I will show you how to indent when I indent your skull!
• 1. What is this talk of ‘release’? Klingons do not make software ‘releases’.

Our software ‘escapes’ leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality

assurance people in its wake.

• 1. Klingon function calls do not have ‘parameters’ – they have ‘arguments’

– and they ALWAYS WIN THEM.

• 1. Debugging? Klingons do not debug. Our software does not coddle the weak.
• 1. I have challenged the entire quality assurance team to a Bat-Leth

contest. They will not concern us again.

• 1. A TRUE Klingon Warrior does not comment his code!
• 1. By filing this SPR you have challenged the honor of my family. Prepare to

die!

• 1. You question the worthiness of my code? I should kill you where you

stand!

• 1. Our users will know fear and cower before our software. Ship it! Ship it,

and let them flee like the dogs they are!
