'in the trade' one liners

October
1

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?

    My father used to tell me about a trainer of salesmen who used to say “Give them facts, they don’t have to be facts, but give them facts.”

    I’ve this tagline pasted on the notice board in my office lounge: A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.

    Funny! I think it takes some people a few reads to understand.
