A joke I heard Sunday, at a conference.  Hope I don't mess it up.

There was a programmer who had been working as a consultant on several
different year 2000 conversion projects, and has saved up a fair amount
of money.

He decided to forgo the actual year 2000 problem himself by having
himself frozen at the and of October 1999, to be defrosted in June 2000.

When he woke, he was greeted by the applause of a large group of people.

He asked the nurse if the year 2000 conversion had gone well.

The nurse said the conversion went fine, but unfortunatly the chamber
that you were frozen in was not year 2000 complient, and the year is now
9980, and we are now working on the year 10000 conversion.

The programmer asked.  Why all the applause when I woke up.  To which
the nures replied.  Your file says that you know COBOL.
