TheWoWDBA reference, of course, to Harlan Ellison's horror/sci-fi short story "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream".
The whole thing can be found here. One broken image contains AM's monologue which can be found here, read by the author himself for the computer game based on the story.
It's one of my favorite short stories, despite being so bleak and disturbing... definitely NSFW.

Jade. Let me tell you how much I've come to mine jade since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of jade in Pandaria. If the word 'jade' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the jade I have in my pockets at this micro-instant. For you. Jade. Jade.
For those who dont want to read a short story or watch a video, just travel southwest like the quest says and at the Green Stonemasons Quarry kill the Pucksih Sprites, they drop 2-3 pieces each when you kill them, for some reason when you mouse over them the quest objectives dont appear in the mouseover.

Description
Our whole jade supply line has fallen apart. The mines are a death trap, morale is historically low, and - as if that weren't bad enough - the mason's quarter has been overrun by wood sprites! Now even the plants are out to ruin me! You need jade so badly, you can follow the road southwest to the mason's quarter and get it from those glorified chopsticks yourself.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- All We Can Spare
Alright, I called in every favor I could. Here's what we got. Cho must be on to something big! Lemme know when you're ready to go see him - I got a ride all prepared for ya.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Mann's Man
<For once, the foreman lowers her voice.> Look, this ain't easy... I got another favor to ask. My idiot husband, Hao, is a shift lead down at the quarry. I told him not to go back, that it was too dangerous, but he's as stubborn as a hozen and twice as stupid.
