Indeed, now that I live in the same town as Guido, and work in the same
office, every day it's the same stinking thing:  "Hi, Guido!"  [blank stare]
"Guido, it's me!" [ditto] "Tim. Tim Peters." "Ah, Tim ... Tim?  I, ah, ..."
"You know, the tabnanny guy." "Ah, Tim!  It's so nice to meet you after all
these years.  I've been meaning to ask whether you'd like a job working on
Python ... but there are still so many licensing issues I need to resolve.
Can you come back in 6 months?".
