'in the trade' one liners

I have a tagline in my emails below my signature that reads,

There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don’t

It’s one of those fnarr things that other programmers understand straight away and others take a few reads to ‘get’. I can’t remember when I put it in my signature but it’s been there ages.

anyway, I got a reply this morning to an email I sent..

LOL! a funny accountant!

I got me trying to think of more fnarr business one liners, what funny one liners have you got in your industry?
