Back in the ancient mists of time (or 17 years ago, which is much the same thing)
I was enjoying my work experience in a quality control laboratory. It was pretty routine stuff, but exciting for the 15 year old science geek that I was. I thought it was fairly intelligent work, and I was getting a bit snobby around my mates who were doing admin work and the like.

One break time, I was brought down to size a bit and reminded that any fucker can do quality control, when helping my supervisor with the crossword in The Sun. She was stuck on one answer - the question was 'A small green insect eaten by Ladybirds'. There was a bit of discussion in the office, so I piped up with 'the answer's Aphid'. My supervisor was delighted, but after looking at the puzzle for a couple of minutes, she looked confused again.

'Do you spell that with one F, or two?'

Definitely two. Wouldn't fit otherwise.

Maybe true there, but there's not many fuckers who can do quality control on 12-hour shifts as part of a skeleton staff.

One 'F' and one 'L'.
