Much better.  Appeals to the literalism of programmers.  (-:

A programmer joke with a similar appeal is the one about the guy
found dead in his shower.  The Medical examiner determined that
the guy had died of starvation!

The case was very puzzling until one of the detectives, who was
taking a night course in computer programming, noticed the
shampoo bottle clutched in the guy's hand.  The instructions on
the bottle read:

"Lather, rinse, repeat."
