See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_You_Give_a_Mouse_a_Cookie

"If you give a mouse a cookie, he'll ask for a glass of milk"

"If you give a mouse a glass of milk, he'll ask for a straw"

And the story keeps going like that, with more and more requests coming in. It's almost like never-ending scope creep, except the book has an infinite loop in it.
