Did that really need a Wikipedia link? Haha.

Also humorous:

My Girlfriend: What are you reading?

Me: I'm reading an article about this guy that turned down $300,000 from Microsoft to build GitHub.

Her: What in the heck is a GitHub?

Me: A website that acts as a hub for coders to share their Git repositories.

Her: Git repositories? My god, that sounds disturbing!

To be fair, most people misconstrue the moral of the fable as being about envy and bitterness, when it's mainly about rationalization to make one feel better about something unachievable or missed.
