Quoted on the back cover of my Knuth volume (ETA: yes, I only have volume 3),

It's always a pleasure when a problem is hard enough that you have to get the Knuths off the shelf. I find that merely opening one has a very useful terrorizing effect on computers.

That was too hilarious not to share.

Or possibly the equivalent of going to a bazooka-carrying dentist.
