I mean, all they really need to say is, “We aren’t in, leave a message.” That’s why I’ve decided to keep mine simple and short. I pledge to you, my caller, that you will never have to suffer through another long answering machine message when you call me…

Real programmers don’t grumble about the disadvantages of Fortran when they don’t know any other language.

Real programmers don’t notch their desks for each completed service request.

Real programmers don’t number paragraph names consecutively.

Real programmers print only clean compiles.

Real programmers write readable code, which they then self-righteously refuse to explain.

Remember the golden rule: Those that have the gold make the rules.

Remember the tea kettle; though up to its neck in hot water, it continues to sing.

Business one-liners

Anything is possible, but nothing is easy.

Anything labeled “New” and/or “Improved” isn’t. The label means the price went up. The label “All New”, “Completely New”, or “Great New” means the price went way up.

Anything that doesn’t eat you today is saving you for tomorrow.

Anything that is designed to do more than one thing cannot do any of them well.

Anything you try to fix will take longer and cost more than you thought.

Anything worth fighting for is worth fighting dirty for.

Appearances are not everything; it just looks like they are.

Artificial intelligence usually beats real stupidity.

As long as the answer is right, who cares if the question is wrong?

As soon as the stewardess serves the coffee, the airline encounters turbulence.
