Challenge: how the heck does it WORK? (fwd)

[Alan Garrison]

There is this "Programmer's traditional nursery 
rhyme":

If a packet hits a pocket 
on a socket or a port, 
and the bus is interrupted and 
the interrupt's not caught, 
then the socket packet pocket 
has an error to report.

(From "Just Java 1.2" by Peter van der Linden)

I thought this was an interesting idea...

I'd love to see an animated (and musical) movie of the life of a
packet...
