     THEOREM: Nothing is ever computer’s fault.

     PROOF: Integer arithmetic is not hard. Computers are nothing but integer arithmetic. Thus computers are not hard. Because computers are not hard, if they don’t work, then by process of elimination the problem is you. QED

     [This proof is, of course, completely bogus. Exercise for the reader: spot the flaws.]
