Ooops... OK, OK, sorry about the HTML! :-) Here it is again in ascii,
I'll cross my fingers and hope this works...

be true is the ideal.

The best one I've ever seen was in this group -- or maybe on
team-ada@acm.org. The "student" had
requested full source code for a program to play tic-tac-toe (or
something like that) on the grounds
that he could not be bothered to do the homework assigments since he
already knew all the stuff, and in
any case he couldn't afford the time since he was working at a
full-time job.
The answer was:
with Ada.Text_Io;
procedure Tic_Tac_Toe is
begin
Ada.Text_Io.Put_Line ("You lose.");
end Tic_Tac_Toe;
