Listen, you people better lay off me.  I know what I am doing, I understand
retro-active maintenance!
And I don't need no more criticism from all you people!   I also fully
understand re-active and newcueler-active maintenance, that's my day
job.  We have alumiginum duck tape at work to stop up the plootonem pipe
leaks in the cooling towers.  But nobody is supposed to know that, so mums
the word.  What's left over, I use on my tires if there's enough after
Jimmy gets what he wants for his Pinto.  I know how to tape tires, what do
you think I am anyways, some kind of moron?
