I'd meant to post the second one as a fantastic example of the concept of meeting expectation, yet hadn't gotten around to that until now.
Just how good is the food in Hermosillo? After I showed up in the much-inferior Chihuahua, I had what was probably the best goat I have eaten in my life. I was, in relative terms, disappointed by my meal.--economist Tyler Cowen
This reminds me of when I went to an Italian restaurant recently. This is not a fantastic restaurant, but it's just a couple of blocks from my apartment, it has some good wine specials, and the food is passable.
Anyway, the waiter came by and asked us: "is everything up to your expectations?". Well, my expectations were pretty damn low, so the answer was a resounding YES!--baseball analyst Nate Silver
