Reminds me of a answer to a stupid question...
Bacground:
Quote was gleaned from the wizdom of a bank robber (I forget who, but someone particularly netorious) by a sociology/psychology student who asked the robber, in jail at the time, why he robbed banks (as opposed to some other type of business) in the hope of establishing some type of underlying psychological motivation that drew the robber to banks... it's typically used to dismiss "fishing" questions/statements ("Tell me about your mother.") as the absurd nonces they are.
...which reminds me of a statistic: 90% of all surveys are unnecessary if you spend more than 10 miniutes researching/thinkging about the problem.
