As quip as it may be, there is more truth to this than a lot of writers want to
accept. Unfortunately, writing is most just raw unbridled grunt work of
figuring out how to say meaningful things like:

"All your base are belong to us." or "Somebody set us up the bomb."

:-)

BTW: If you get the joke encoded in that, you are officially a nerd and can
ascend to the next pay scale without passing HR.
