Which is not unique in any way.

Old joke:

<joke>
At a software development conference in a session about
software quality the speaker looked out at the audience and
asked "You have just boarded a plane and you realize that the
software of that plane has been developed by your team. Who
would stay on the plane?". Only one guy raised his hand. So
the speaker asked him "How do you ensure such high quality
that you feel safe staying on the plane?". And the guy
answered "Our quality sucks - there is no chance that
the plane would make it from the gate out to the take off
runway, so no need to get off.".
