Programmer
"If you had to choose one or the other, would you rather be slightly too warm, or slightly too cold?"

You ask the question: Is this software reliable?
A Computer Scientist Says:
"This code is very reliable. There is only about a one in a billion chance of it ever failing."
Exact Same Statement Made by a Programmer:
"On a typical laptop, this code will fail about once a minute."
