OT - literary joke

There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire to
become a great writer. When asked to define 'great' he said, "I want to
write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react
to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry and
howl with pain and anger!"
He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages.
