That's hilarious. I do hope it gets evaluated at run time. That way you could have a program that works most of the time but if some rare circumstance caused it to execute commands in a sequence where the correct level of politeness was not maintained it would get the hump and crash

LOL wow, I never even heard of INTERCAL. Does it have IF THEN MAYBE?

It does have ABSTAIN and COME FROM, for example. It doesn't have IF, of course. That would be silly.
