"It's a pleasure to meet you, Professor Knuth," Steve said. "I've read all of your books."

"You're full of shit," Knuth responded.

There's a Google talk that Randall Munroe did. Knuth was there and Munroe asked him about that story, Knuth seemed to deny it.

"Full of shit" seems a very un-Knuth-y expression.

[edited to add: I should of course just have called it "unknuth", but my pun-sense wasn't quick enough on the mark.]
