Print "SUSSMAN\n" twice in 40 bytes or less.

You don't say where I should print the SUSSMAN's. I say I want to print them to /dev/nul, nul, a broadcast stream, throwaway stream, etc.
Thus the entire act of printing Sussman's has no side effects, and a smart compiler could optimize this away in some circumstances. Which means that the shortest program which does this job doesn't have to do anything, and thus is 0 bytes (in a variety of languages which accept empty programs). It is the shortest solution to this challenge.
