INSTRUCTIONS: Whilst in Scotland, I couldn't help but notice that along the roadway, there were signs posted, simply saying, "Thank You". These signs were as regular as stop signs, or speed limit signs.
I asked my grandfather,"why are there Thank You signs posted?"
He replied,"Well, it's thanking us for driving safely. Also, if you can't read the sign, you're driving too fast."
He may have been telling the truth, but I preferred to interpret the sign at face value, like a bumper sticker that says, "Don't be a jerk." Just "Thank You".


Make a Thank You sign, and post it appropriately.
Thank you.

I wrote a very simple Python program that will generate thank you notes based on user responses to several questions. As the example explains, were I any more dedicated or my teacher any less patient, it might have had more bells and whistles. The program was appropriately posted to his email.

I heartily suggest learning Haskell. It's a mind fuck expanding programming language to learn, and I'd argue that it's really a better way to do things.

Plus, it has one of the most ridiculously entertaining tutorials I've ever seen.

Use it in real life perhaps?
