A few of the email signatures I have used through the ages.
Just collecting them here for posterity, and for a bit of fun.
Gotta love Terry Pratchett’s nicely warped view of things:
.( | "Build a fire for a man, /%/ | and he'll be warm for a day. (%(%)) | Set a man on fire, .-'..`-. | and he'll be warm for the rest of his life." `-'.'`-'dd | --Terry Pratchett
And a nice comeback that puts me in my place:
"Give a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he'll buy a funny hat. Talk to a hungry man about fish, and you're a consultant."
Some prog-rock philosophy sums things up for me:
"And so with gods and men The sheep remain inside their pen, Though many times they've seen the way to leave." -- Genesis, "Firth of Fith"
"electricity made us angels and money made us fools, but fear of future shackled us to gods who ride the backs of mules." -- Bill Nelson
The following came from Charles Handy’s The Empty Raincoat:
"A good job is like an inside-out donut."
So: a good job should have a well-defined centre, with lots of fluffyness around it (giving opportunity and variety).
