I was reading Brian Harvey's "Simply Scheme" on the train home one day.  A
person who had only a view of the back cover, noticing my occasional smiles
at the author's quirkiness asked, "Is that a textbook on Men And Their
Relationships?"

It lead to a very warm and welcome conversation on the joys of programming
sans the non-collapsable syntactical shackles of Pascal.

Wouldn't you think that a T-shirt procelyting www.schemers.org would get
noticed and perhaps garner even a few converts?

I was a Scheme guy for quite a while and eventually moved to Lisp on the
way to Python, Java, and (finally) Smalltalk.  I don't usually mention it
for fear of being taunted, or worse, given a blank stare. :)
