Here is a somewhat unique request.  I need to give brief description of what
I do as a Tech Writer to a group of government folks.  I am looking for
an interesting/humorous quote that I can use to open this talk.

I would prefer it to be a phrase that is descriptive of the "joys" of 
technical writing.

Any ideas?
