I know you're a fan of Perl, so I couldn't help but quote this one:

PERL
     You stab yourself in the foot repeatedly with an incredibly large 
and very heavy Swiss Army knife.

My favourite Haskell suggestion so far:

     No instance for (Target Foot)
       arising from use of `shoot' at SelfInflictedInjury.hs:1:0
     Possible fix: add an instance declaration for (Target Foot)
     In the expression: shoot foot

(For those of you who aren't Haskell experts, this is pretty much 
_exactly_ what certain compiler errors look like.)
