A friend of mine always used to say "If so strong in the Force is Yoda, why words in right order can he not put?"

Arnold Zwicky over at Language Log posted a funny comic on the same subject, including links to posts discussing "Yodic" syntax.

Of course, there is a very simple answer to this question. While I can't take credit for it, and I don't know whom to credit, it always makes me laugh:

Q: If so strong in the Force is Yoda, why words in right order can he not put?
A: It's postfix notation, of course!
