During the Depression, a group of unemployed men was watching a steam shovel working. One man said “If it weren’t for that @#$%^&* machine, there would be work for a hundred men with shovels.”. Another said “Yeah, or a thousand men with teaspoons.”. Nowadays, we hear similar remarks about electricity generation.

Aren’t you glad I decided against using my next line: "All that stuff has to be brought in on a “tray”-ler"?Cos that one is truly not worthy.
