All good question IMHO.

Also, 

  o Where do you keep a copy of the C language standard document?
      potential answers:
        o never heard of it
        o don't need it
        o in the library
        o I think maybe Charlie has one.
        o here, read mine if you don't have your own.
        o on every programmer's book shelf 
        o we really depend on the programmers to keep up with that stuff
            on their own time
        o we don't allow programmers to read books and magazines at work
        o you don't need to worry about that...you'll just be coding 
        o good question, maybe we should order a few copies
        o I have the Schildt book....does that count?
