Using a little poetic license, and realizing that CGF
never does anything with the expectation of failure
implied above:

Meanwhile, I'll teach my dog to play the piano == MITMDTPTP


I know what you're going to say, "It's too complicated!"
But ... I taught the acronym to my dog, Phydeaux.

And, you gotta love any acronym of this sort that begins
with MIT, ends with two TPs, has an MD in the middle,
contains no obscentities and refers to man's best friend.
