Nasrudin (or Nasreddin)[0] is an apocryphal Sufi priest, who is sort of a "collection bin" for wise and witty sayings. Great stories. Lots of humor, and lots of wisdom.

One of my "go-tos" from him, is the Smoke Seller[1]. I think that story applies to the Tech Scene.

I first heard the GC quote as attributed to Will Rogers, then, to Rita Mae Brown.
