Actually, the Onion remark was one of Steve Bellovin's. ;)

*MINE* was at SANS in 1997 in Baltimore:
"I guess we should all just quit doing security and become
plumbers.
No.
Wait.
Security *IS* like being a plumber!! You still have to worry
about the flow of stuff and the thickness of your pipes. You have
no control over the stuff you're going to have to deal with,
and it all stinks about equally. Marketing people put whatever stuff
they like into your pipes, and when the pipes burst you're
still left to clean the stuff up and your customers are going to
blame you for what they flushed."
