More and More, 2007-07-13

An engineer is a person who knows more and more about less and less until, in the limit, (s)he finally knows everything about nothing.

A salesperson is one who knows less and less about more and more until finally (s)he knows nothing about everything.

A purchasing agent is a person who, through association with engineers and salespeople, winds up knowing nothing about anything!

--Unknown, but not original with me.
