The perfect visual metaphor for pointer indirection in C. Just like the man in the image gesturing to people who know other people, C pointers are just memory addresses pointing to other memory addresses in an endless chain of "this references that which references something else." And just like trying to follow this convoluted explanation at a party, dereferencing multiple levels of pointers will inevitably lead to a segmentation fault and your program crashing face-first into the floor. The real memory leak is the sanity you lose along the way.
