LeChuck’s Revenge
- Guybrush: How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
- Carpenter: A woodchuck would chuck no amount of wood since a woodchuck can’t chuck wood.
- Guybrush: But if a woodchuck could chuck and would chuck some amount of wood, what amount of wood would a woodchuck chuck?
- Carpenter: Even if a woodchuck could chuck wood and even if a woodchuck would chuck wood, should a woodchuck chuck wood?
- Guybrush: A woodchuck should chuck wood if a woodchuck could chuck wood, as long as a woodchuck would chuck wood.
- Carpenter: Oh shut up.

Ruderboot
Auf jedem Schritt machte er die Erfahrung, die ein Mensch macht, der an dem Anblick eines auf glatter Wasserfläche leicht hingleitenden Bootes seine Freude hatte und dann selbst in diesem Boote fahren soll. Er sieht nun, daß es nicht nur darauf ankommt, ruhig zu sitzen und nicht zu schaukeln, sondern, daß er auch die Fahrtrichtung nicht einen Augenblick aus den Augen noch die Ruder aus den Händen lassen darf, daß die ungewohnten Arme leicht ermüden und, so leicht die Sache vom Ufer sich ansieht, sie doch, bei aller Annehmlichkeit, in Wirklichkeit recht schwer ist. (Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoi)

Client: “Underneath? The ball is on top!”
Me: “Please turn the mouse right-side-up, so the ball is facing the ground.”
