When the end users complain about why an application doesn't have X or Y functionality I am going to give them this reply:
"Anything that is perfect, isn't useful. Anything that is useful, isn't perfect."
if (Object.DividedByZero == true) { Universe.Implode(); }

So I guess that is your "perfect" answer?

 Yes

But by your definition, not useful.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I can think of a few dozen end users that are just that too 
if (Object.DividedByZero == true) { Universe.Implode(); }

Then by your definition they are Perfect users!
I'd quit while I was ahead if I was you!

Never surrender

I'd forgotten that one! Might be worth watching again...

I don't know if you mean the same movie, but it's one of my favourites.

I'd even forgotten Sigourney Weaver was in it!
I was probably drunk when I watched it last time...

She didn't have a big role; she just repeated what the computer said.

"I only have one job on this ship. It may be stupid but I'm gonna do it!" I always loved that scene.
if (Object.DividedByZero == true) { Universe.Implode(); }

So you're saying that you're neither useful nor perfect?

Certainly explains my wife and I.
I'll leave it to you to figure out which of us is which!

Similar to that: When a client (and I regard Tech Support to be a 'client') complains about how long something is taking or the cost I give 'em this:
"You can have it - A) Good B) Fast or C) Cheap, pick any TWO.

Except for the number zero. Zero is perfect and useful.

Not going to argue with that.

Zero is not perfect. It can't be. It has no divisors. The lowest perfect number is 6. Everybody knows that!
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Much more useful than, say, a moronic aphorism that means nothing!

They don't have the capacitance.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
