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.)
