Is there a function f : R → R that is continuously differentiable everywhere but twice differentiable nowhere?

Let Dn denote "n times differentiable" and let Cn denote "n times continuously differentiable".

I'm interested in learning about a counterexample I do not recall ever seeing: a C1 function

   f : ℝ → ℝ

that is D2 nowhere.

And what about a function g : ℝ → ℝ that is D2 everywhere but C2 nowhere?
