A matter of experience
The Daily WTF writes about Oracle consultants without experience with Oracle. Somebody added this wonderful comment:

Self-worth
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
Eleanor Roosevelt, 'This Is My Story,' 1937

Russian humour
„[God] exists whether you believe in him or not. Besides, he could say the same about you: that he doesn't believe in you. So you don't exist! It doesn't matter whether we believe in God, but whether he believes in us. And he believes in you“
„They say I have to go for the operation. But they also say I will die because of the operation. So I have to die with the operation and without the operation. But I cannot die two deaths, and so I continue to live. A typical talmudic problem.“
„He took revenge on the eternal grandfather for making him remember Christ in an unexplicable way, making him remember his suffering and salvation, remember what had been eliminated from their hearts, but what was still alive and disquited their amputated conscience when the weather changed.“
Boris Chasanow, Unten ist Himmel (my translation)

Swabian humour
Cologne is a special case anyway. The audience laughs more readily there than in any other city. In Stuttgart, people just keep quiet. That's almost scary. But afterwards, they buy books. As if at home, they want to catch up on laughing.
Robert Gernhardt talking to Spiegel Online: „Mensch, lass locker!“
