Clever sig lines.

Has this been brought up? I visit a few forums and have seen some great sig lines along with a lot of stupid ones. The best one recently was:

“I can build anything you want if you draw a picture of it on the back of a big enough check.”

— I love it.

From a pool posting board.

Look how hard this easy game is.

I'm a software developer and I give a similar line when asked if I can do something. I generally say: "Given unlimited time and money, I can make the software do anything." It's then that I learn about the constraints I will be operating under.

Another related one I will throw out is: "Time....cost....quality....you can pick two."

I always liked this one: “There are only 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don’t”.

Grady Clay's sig line. Saw it on the torsion tube replacement thread over on the Technical forum and thought of this thread. He's still contributing to Pelican to this day.
