Guess my number the functional way

Guess my number on python the functional way:

import random

def getnum() : return int(raw_input("your guess? "))

def match(guess, secret) : 

    r =  ( guess < secret and 'too low') or ( guess > secret and 'too high') or (guess == secret and 'You win!!')

    print r

    print

    return r

def loop(x,z):

    print "try #",z,

    return ('You win!!' != match(getnum(),x) and loop(x,z+1) ) or (z)

def guessnumber():

    secret = random.choice(range(101))

    times = loop(secret,1)

    print "Total # of try's = ",times

    print (times < 3 and "no way!!") or (times < 4 and "very good") or (times < 6 and 'slo-po') or (times > 5 and 'looser!!')

    return

Flying trucks over Texas..

While chatting with a client I happened to mention a tornado that sent trucks flying not to far from where I live.. I had the feeling that he thought I was exaggerating..

Nope, we don't exaggerate here in Texas.. ;)

I loved that plane...
