When the second edition came out, we changed to calling the first edition "The Old Testament" and the second edition "The New Testament." Using that anology, it becomes easy to see that Bjarne Stroustrup's C++ book is none other than "The Book of Mormon." -- Selected by Maddi Hausmann Sojourner. MAIL your joke to funny@clarinet.com.
