I would be the last who wanted to spoil such a good joke.
But... tell me please, ANYONE, who takes part in this inspiring exchange:

 How many COBOL programs have you written in your life?
 How many programs in Cobol have you actually SEEN?

My current project at work has a bunch of legacy COBOL code that is still actively maintained.  Thankfully, it is not maintained by me, but I've looked at a lot of it.

I'm glad to hear that you found my joke inspiring!
