The Turing Test gets mentioned here, so I think it makes it on-topic in AHB.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

You're not kidding.

I used to work for a bloke who was a highly competent engineer, until he got
himself promoted to a level when the most technical thing he ever did was
send email.

He then quite deliberately made himself a technical illiterate.
