Wrong book

 | Perl | 2 Comments
About ten days ago, I ordered the book 'Perl Debugged' and I was pretty excited when the package arrived today, falling gently from the mail slot in the door and landing upside sown on the hallway mat.

At first I was a little surprised how thin it seemed, but still full of anticipation, I ripped the package open and yanked out the book.

It turned out to be a copy of 'Mijne erste Trompetenshule' some German music book for kids learning how to play the trumpet.

When you think about more closely, it makes sense that Perl and trumpet playing have alot more in common that you realize.

What a letdown, but kind of funny and ironic at the same time.

Hey that's the very same book! It might be seen by some as a good looking book but I still prefer the Perl book I originally ordered.

Besides not only am I unable to play such an instrument but my German is pretty lousy also.

I'm am still a kid though.
