No really a quote but a darn funny story that has been doing the rounds on the Internet for years. I got it from this link (http://mistupid.com/jokes/msvgm.htm) but many other copies appear everywhere else.
Microsoft vs. General Motors
At a recent computer expo, Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon.
In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:
1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.
2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull over to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.
4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
5. Apple would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.
6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "General Protection Fault" warning light.
7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.
8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
9. Every time GM introduced a new car, car buyers would have to learn to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off. |
I personally came up with this one.
11. If you change all four tires, you have to re-register the car and get new number plates.

Actually, this is true. I sometimes find new admiration for a piece of music that I may not be impressed with when I hear it... until I learn about how the composer built it (whether that learning is simply from being told about interesting techniques; following the score while listening; or deconstructing it by either learning all the parts, or simply studying the score in detail and seeing how it is all put together).
(Sorry, not funny. Just a geeky tangent.)
I've long liked Twain's humor (he's good at serious too, if you've ever read his story about Joan of Arc, the title of which completely escapes me at the moment). He's one of my favorite writers of humor, along with Oscar Wilde (I love The Importance of Being Earnest, especially). What do you want? I'm busy.
Program, please!
Chaos.... good news. |

A toast with Booz, as follows...
"Here's to us."
"Who's like us?"
"Damn few!"
"And they're ALL dead!"
(Haven't seen the whole thing, but I believe this quote also shows up in the movie Act of Valor)
