Lisp is SHIT

Give me three good reasons to use Lisp or Scheme instead of C++

I enjoy writing in Lisp. I'm straight, have a girlfriend, and I have an above average IQ. I'm also successful by my own standards (I make $85k per year and I enjoy my job). However, I am not a professional programmer nor am I a computer science major, so I present to you this gem of logic:

-----Programs In Lisp-----|---Gay?---|
 Professional Programmer  |   YES    |
     Comp Sci Major       |   YES    |
  Professional Engineer   |    NO    |
    Hobby Programmer      |    NO    |
       Homosexual         |    NO    |
        Plumber           |   YES    |

Lisp doesn't create fags. Fags create fags.
