Does anyone have any good hooks regarding programming presentations (any kind of programming)?

"C gives you enough rope to hang yourself. C++ also gives you the tree object to tie it to."


That could be a hook into the various types of code.





And





A programmer was walking along the beach when he found a lamp. Upon rubbing the lamp a genie appeared who stated "I am the most powerful genie in the world. I can grant you any wish you want, but only one wish."





The programmer pulled out a map of the Mediterranean area and said "I'd like there to be a just and last peace among the people in the middle east."





The genie responded, "Gee, I don't know. Those people have been fighting since the beginning of time. I can do just about anything, but this is beyond my limits."





The programmer then said, "Well, I am a programmer and my programs have a lot of users. Please make all the users satisfied with my programs, and let them ask sensible changes"





Genie: "Uh, let me see that map again."


That could be a hook into functionality.
