Only after they are placed against it and shot.  It'll take a lot of 
bullet holes to do it.

I was fired from a job several years ago for writing one stinkin'
application in
RPG-IV.  When I first started there, I had written a bunch of apps in
RPG-IV, then
they came back and said no more.  Several months had passed doing nothing
but
maintenance to old RPG-III apps, and then a new project had me doing more
new
development.  Project manager was reviewing developers' work, saw my 
RPG-IV
(my
mistake, I forgot), called me in for a 10-minute tirade.  My mistake was
asking the
project manager (fairly fluent in RPG-III) if he truly could not 
understand
what the
program was doing.  "Doesn't matter!  We only do RPG-III here"  I 
envisioned
him
with knuckles dragging on the floor.  I went back and "converted" it to
RPG-III in
fifteen minutes' time, and was fired the next day, being told, I swear, 
"you
were
told not to use RPG-IV, so we're going to let you go."

I shook the dust off my shoes as I walked out the door.
