Programmer: Wait, I’ll show you my code to prove that Java is not slow. You’ll see it...
Programmer: Wait, the IDE is starting...
Programmer: Just a moment... It’s almost done...

Is it funny because it so true? Would it be funnier if it weren’t true?

Some of the [Wayback] Ken Thompson – Wikiquote entries come from a great [Wayback] 1983 ACM Turing Award Acceptance Lecture [Wayback] “Reflections on Trusting Trust”.
That lecture used to be on http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/ken/trust.html
But it isn’t, and was not in the WayBack machine and neither in the Google Cache [Archive.is] because of the [Wayback/Archive.is] robots.txt. Historic link rot galore!
Edit 20210728: by now it is in the Wayback machine again; the earliest archived copy is from 2001, it also shows that as of april 2015 it is gone from the bell labs server.
The lecture is about [Wayback] compiler viruses and viruses actually did this at least a few times: Wayback: Delphi in 2009 and to [Wayback] XCode in 2015.
A few nice links from [Wayback] ACM Classic: Reflections on Trusting Trust – Google Groups though:
And archived versions of (I hope accurate) copies of the article:
Finally I found a PDF copy of the original ACM prints that Greg Ganger of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University has online. It’s archived too.

Though from Mark Parisi, it’s not on offthemark.com (any more?), but still floats around:
It’s starring Cookie Monster and Oscar the Grouch. Who doesn’t love the two starring together.

Much better image quality than the one I saw floating around on G+ a while ago.
