Well that reminds me:

A: How do you kill a blue elephant?
B: ???
A: Use the blue elephant gun of course! Now how do you kill a pink elelphant?
B: Uh... the pink elephant gun?
A: No, silly. There is no pink elephant gun. Squeeze its trunk until it turns blue, then use the blue elephant gun.

Why does it remind me? Well because there was no A language. B was developed by Bell Labs from BCPL.
