This is a bit off-topic, but I can’t resist. From Penelope Trunk’s blog:
Harvest is a waiting game. All the farmers wait around to see who will cut the corn first. You want to wait long enough so that you don’t have to spend money drying the corn with expensive propane. But you don’t want to wait so long that the stalks start to keel over. This reminds me of working with venture capitalists. They want to invest, but they want to wait until we are almost out of money. And they can’t stop talking about it. The venture capitalists and the farmers would love each other, if they could just agree on a place to meet.
If VCs are a part of your life, you’ll get the joke.
