January One-liners

New one-liners for January 2018.

The new year is here! Let’s celebrate by adding some brand new one-liners to the ever-growing collection. This month, it’s a mixed bag of one-liners, with a little programming wisdom that has overflowed1 from December’s Programming Special.

  • “A good programmer is someone who always looks both ways before crossing a one-way street.” - Doug Linder
  • All you need is ignorance and confidence and the success is sure.
  • I asked my North Korean friend how it was there, he said he couldn’t complain.
  • What’s the difference between men and pigs? Pigs don’t turn into men when they drink.
  • My dream woman has a special combination of inner and outer beauty and is, most importantly, too naive to know she’s way out of my league.
  • I tried to explain to my 4-year-old son that it’s perfectly normal to accidentally poop your pants, but he’s still making fun of me.
  • Don’t let your worries get the best of you; remember, Moses started out as a basket case.
