The Kafka Bug Report

Franz Kafka once submitted a bug report to his publisher. It simply read: 'One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. This is not a metaphor. Please send an exterminator.' The publisher responded: 'We've categorized this as a feature, not a bug. It really captures the human condition.' Kafka muttered, 'This is exactly what I was afraid of.'
