I'm told the "goto" statement still exists in C++, but that it hasn't actually been observed. I would consider this more a case of cryptozoology.

Have you people never heard of the Universal Language, written by my uncle (that's the other one), known as FORTRAN? What kind of anti-science, Luddite, hippie-developed languages are used in industry today?!

Nurse, nurse, bring me my walker and my whacking stick! It's Whacking Day, I tell you!

I took FORTRAN 20 years ago in college. Promptly forgot it.

Bring back FORTRAN! (Then I can come back!)

I once studied FORTH, but gave it up..

It was the reverse polish notation that did it..
