The way I heard the joke back in the day was this way:

How did the computer programmer die in the shower?

By following the instructions on the shampoo bottle:

Another good one is the old bumper sticker that read "Forth Love If Honk Then". And yes, the wacky syntax drove me away from attempting to learn that particular language.

Maybe more maths than programming but -
