   Some QA quips:

   * FAME! I wanna test forever! I want to get to the bug. FAME!
   * I know one thing. Indecision may or may not be my problem.
   * This is not a bug. It’s a feature! (Product Manager’s Dictionary)
   * Confidence is the feeling you have before you understand the situation.
   * Never say “Oooops” … always say “Ahhh, interesting…”
   * Inside every large problem is a small problem struggling to get out
   * Weiler’s Law says that nothing is impossible for those who don’t have to do it themselves.
   * Developer when code doesn’t work: ‘I thought I fixed that.’
   * Developer when code doesn’t work: ‘It works, but it hasn’t been tested.’
   * “Shhh!!! Be vewwy vewwy quiet! I’m hunting bugs!”
   * Going to add a bug ??? remember !!! the QA team is always the last one at the door
   * Ok, UNICODE is…. Wait, which Unicode are you talking about?
   * Klingon software does not have bugs. It has features, and those features are too sophisticated for a Romulan pig like you to understand.
   * Computers are like bikinis. They save people a lot of guesswork.
   * If debugging is the process of removing bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in.
   * Testing can only prove the presence of bugs, not their absence.
   * A known bug is better than an unknown feature.
   * Real Programmers don’t comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to read.
