Spend the money on glass too someday.

Used to roll my eyes at the bucket thing too, until I watched my nephew learn Java. He kept "putting" strings in his bucket and then got wrecked when two variables pointed at the same list and changing one changed both. Once I explained it as a label stuck on a box instead of a box you pour stuff into, it clicked for him in like ten minutes. So yeah, the picture matters way more than people admit. Names point at things, they are not the things.

Used to figure grief jokes were fine as long as the person telling them knew the guy well enough. Then I watched a friend go quiet for a whole hour after one, and now I get that the widow or the son sets the clock, not the calendar.
