why coding in php is like watching gay porn

I was talking to a friend on IM tonight and the conversation eventually turned to coding and the different projects each of us was working on. My friend, a long time PHP developer who is now working in Python, commented about how much he loves working in Python.
What follows was my response:
"Yeah, I feel so much cleaner when I get to code in Python. Things just make sense to me. At first you're like 'hrm, that's weird.' Then a few days later you're like, 'oh yeah, that makes total sense.' With PHP you only get the first part."
To put it another way, coding in PHP is like watching gay porn and not knowing it. You keep waiting for the girls to show up and they never do. Then you're just a guy watching gay porn.
Disclaimer: I make my living coding in PHP.
