Lol! The one I hear is that a program is defined to be the tracks
left by thousands of bugs.

In the case of Ocaml, we might say that when many messages
of the form: "This expression has type SquarePeg but is here
used with type RoundHole" have been fixed by sandpapering
off the edges of those pegs .. the program is the residual sawdust
that remains on the floor after thousands of curses.
