So! Let me get this straight. Good Work ain't cheap, & Cheap Work ain't
good. That answers a lot of questions.

PS...Many, many years ago I used to sublet grading work to a guy, who used a
small Deere dozer with a six way blade. He was very, very good at what he
did. He had that saying, "Good Work ain't cheap, & Cheap Work ain't good"
painted across the hood. This was an earthy, blue collar, one man operation,
making
a pretty nice marketing statement on his one piece of equipment for the early
1960s. Another one that caught my fancy during the same period was a local
waste hauler, whose trucks read, "Satisfaction guaranteed, or double your
rubbish back!"
