Compiler Comments

One of my first jobs involved analyzing the OMSI Pascal compiler with a
view to porting it to another system.  Two comments I found in the
compiler's source code were:

	Expression syntax too grotesque.  (On failing to parse an
					   arithmetic expression).

	Well, shit.  After all that work. (After a page of code trying to
					   figure out a floating point
					   expression).

Ha, ha, ha. Take me back to [ the alphabetic list ] [ the date-ordered list ].
