Had to verify. And yes. Kernighan and Ritchie really did this. TIL :)
And no, Stroustroup did NOT do this in the C++ book and also no, Knuth didn’t do this in AOCP :)
Saustrup@jwildeboer Stoustrup is perhaps tad less whimsical, although he had few funny remarks when I saw him at a conference in Berlin last year. "This is my boasting slide" he said, and pulled out a slide with a list of major technologies based on C++.

In my years on the ANSI C++ standards committee I think Stroustrup told 1 or 2 jokes. He always seemed a very serious and determined person.
