The "Beavis & Butthead" version:
Butthead: Perl 4 is cool, but Perl 5 is, like, even more cool. Huh, huh.
Beavis: But doesn't that mean Perl 4 sucks?
Butthead: No way, asswipe! Just because one thing is cool doesn't, like,
automatically make something else suck!
Beavis: Yeah, Yeah, I get it. But, like, why is Perl, like, so cool?
Butthead: I think it's because, like, Larry Wall's, like, from Seattle
or something. Huh, huh.
Beavis: Yeah. Huh, huh.

The "Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey" version:
"Last night I spent the whole night on my computer. In the morning my wife
woke up and asked me what I was doing. I told her I was telling some guy
at Cornell why it's better to stay with Perl 4 until there's a really good
reason to switch to Perl 5."
"My wife told me she wanted a divorce."
