re: Its a tough job but somebody has to do it.
What is it about you net cranks? You guys seem to attract one another.
Maybe its the "birds of a feather......... " thing. :-)
Long time ago it used to be that someone had to turn the "crank" before the engine started.
I think that the parody of turning someone's "crank" may be a good one.
Lots of people can "cook up" many good ideas but if nothing is ever done about them (like turning the crank) the progress that the ideas would bring into existence will never happen.
We may live without poetry, music and art;
We may live without conscience, and live without
heart;
We may live without friends; we may live without
books;
But civilized man cannot live without cooks.
