If Star Trek had been about a programming team....
Scotty: Captain, we canna' handle another iteration! We'll fly apart!
Kirk: Dammit, Scotty, we've got to have more iterations! Give me everything you've got!
Scotty, resigned: Aye, sir. Scott out.
Bones: Dammit, Jim, I'm a developer, not a debugger!
Spock: <scanning source code>
Kirk: What do you make of it, Spock?
Spock: It's np-complete, Jim, but not as we know it.
Uhura: Captain, ODBC is now available. Should I establish a connection?
Sulu: Course laid in for project milestone 2, iteration #6.
Chekov: All breakpoints are suddenly inoperative, Keptin!
Kirk: Sulu, sound the red alert!
Kirk: <to Uhura> Department to department
Uhura: Speaker-phone unmuted, sir.
Kirk: This is James T. Kirk...lead of the development team. We come seeking...friendship and do not wish to offer offense. I—
<on other end of phone> Just get us the proposals by first thing tomorrow, Jim. And knock off the kooky—
Kirk: <makes slash across throat>
Uhura: Connection terminated, sir.
[Edit: Added a few minutes later]
Khan: It tasks me. The bug tasks me, and I shall have it! I'll chase it 'round the call stack, and 'round the try/catch block, and 'round Perdition's flames, before I give it up!
As is now rather obvious, my mind is in a weird mood, today. :) Feel free to add your own.
