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.”
