As Jarno has been pointing to my quotation collection again and mentioning his favourites, it seems fitting to point out some of my own.

I think the reason I like some of these is almost entirely down to rhythm:

  I would hereby duly point you at the website for the current pedal
  powered submarine world underwater speed record, except I've lost
  the URL.                                         -- Callas, cam.misc
I mean, it's kind of amusing in a random sort of way, but something about the flow of it really appeals to me.
[1] If you're lost in the woods, just bury some fibre in the ground
    carrying data. Fairly soon a JCB will be along to cut it for you
    - follow the JCB back to civilsation/hitch a lift.
                                               -- Simon Burr, cam.misc
Just funny. We had a network-outage-through-JCB event recently, which helps, I guess.
  Monte Carlo sampling is no way to understand code.
                                  -- Gordon McMillan, comp.lang.python
A bit of wit & wisdom.
  I located the link but haven't bothered to re-read the article,
  preferring to post nonsense to usenet before checking my facts.
                                      -- Ben Wolfson, comp.lang.python
An honest post!
  Gevalia is undrinkable low-octane see-through only slightly
  roasted bilge water. Compared to .us coffee it is quite
  drinkable.                                      -- Måns Nilsson, asr
Rhythm again, although much as I like coffee I do find over done coffee snobbery a bit trying.

Obviously, though, I like all the quotes I have on that page & am glad others do too.
