A Quote from Terry Pratchett's _Going Postal_
Craftsmen. D'you know what that means? It means men
with some pride,
who get fed up and leave when they're told to
do skimpy work in a rush,
no matter what you pay them.
So I'm employing people as "craftsmen"
now who're barely fit to sweep out a workshop.
But you don't care, because if they don't polish a chair
with their arse all day you think a man
who's done a seven-year apprenticeship
is the same as some twerp who can't be trusted to hold a hammer by the
right end.
-- not said aloud by Mr. Pony, chief engineer for the Grand Trunk clacks company.
