[[A man in a car, sitting at a red light.]]
Man: This light always takes forever. I'd like to smack the idiot who designed this intersection.
[[An engineer steps up onto the hood of the man's car.]]
Engineer: Hi.
Man: Who the hell are you?
Engineer: I designed this intersection.
Engineer [[arms spread outward]] : You're right - I should have just made the light shorter! Never mind the hours of simulation and testing I did. Never mind that this intersection interacts with it's neighbors in a complicated way and it took me a week to work out timing sequences that avoided total jams.
Engineer: Clearly, I'm a crappy engineer and you have a better solution. Go on, show me your proposed timings.
Man: Get the hell off my hood before I start driving and fling you into traffic.
Engineer: You can't. Light's red.
Man: Well, when will it change?
Engineer: Tuesday.
{{Title Text: You can look at practically any part of anything manmade around you and think 'some engineer was frustrated while designing this.' It's a little human connection.}}

We did not invent the algorithm. The algorithm consistently finds Jesus. The algorithm killed Jeeves. The algorithm is banned in China. The algorithm is from Jersey. The algorithm constantly finds Jesus. This is not the algorithm. This is close.
