I have no plans to move to the US :-)  To this day "ADD A TO B GIVING C 
COMPUTATIONAL ROUNDED" still leaves me cold.

And it's been said that one of the reasons for COBOL was that 
dumb-as-whatever bosses could see what their programmers were writing... 
Their job is to manage, not to spy.  Heck, they measured productivity by 
lines of code per day; you want lots of lines?  Sure, I can do that!
