Some people would rather be right than try to solve the problem.

"Infamous" exaggerates, but I find this amusing: we had a delightful chant for our sports teams.
COCKSUCKER! MOTHERFUCKER! EAT A BAG OF SHIT! CENTRAL, CENTRAL, HIT! HIT! HIT!
I've tried to forget that and I can't. I wonder where they got it from.

We need to pay the programmers to put the problems in the code.
