The Umlaut and the Pound Sign

Those poor squares at the New Yorker…

I remember he had these beer glasses that said ‘pound include beer dot H.’

Snort. The joke only works if it’s told properly:

I remember he had these beer glasses that said ‘#include <beer.h>’

or the radically less funny:

I remember he had these beer glasses that said ‘#include “beer.h"’

Here endeth the lesson.
