In regards to working in a Lisp environment:

A little girl walked into a pet shop and asked in the sweetest lisp: "Excuthe me, mithter, do you keep widdle wabbits?" As the shop keeper's heart melted, he got down on his knees to her level, asking: "Do you want a widdle white wabbit, or a thoft and fuwwwy bwack wabbit, or maybe one like this cute widdle bwown wabbit over here?" The little girl leaned forward and said: "I don't fink my pet python weally gives a thit."

A word of caution from a specialist I know to anyone who has a child. Turning "shit" into "sit" is normal even for a seven year old. But "thit" is not normal. It's an over-correction that may take quite long to disappear by itself or it may be permanent.

That's the most random nugget of wisdom I've encountered in some time. Thanks, I'll keep it in mind should I ever have a kid!
