Ken,
 
I love it.  Maybe I should use the Sartre philosophy to explain to my client why her squeaky damper system doesn't really matter.  
 
Fortunately, this client is not a disagreeable sort.
 
Thanks to all who have responded,
 
Dave

I once tuned for a French teacher at a boarding school. 
She wasn't home and there was a horrific squeak from the bottom board. 
Not having my tilter, nor any wood wedges to stick under the piano, 
I looked on her bookshelf and saw multiple copies of Sartre's 'Being and Nothingness' (in French). 
I used one of them to prop up the bottom board and voila no more squeak. 
I left a note explaining what I did and why, with the comment that Sartre was wrong, 
existence does have both meaning and purpose.
