Nothing more fun in the world than reviewing a document in committee.

How about reviewing a Sarbanes–Oxley document in committee?

Welcome to MY day.

Are you guys doing red-line form validations? That is the highlight of my entire life...

Guy1: "No, no, no! The comma needs to be here!"
Guy2: "That would create a comma splice."
Guy3: "I think the font should be smaller."
Me: "..." opens a vein.

Let me say this as both a lawyer and an engineer: engineers are twice as bad as lawyers when it comes to wordsmithing documents. Lawyers, at least, are trained to pick apart the language that actually means something. Engineers nitpick everything.
