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

  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;
