If you don't have time to it right the first time, where do you find time to do it over.
It's always easy if you ain't the guy doing it.
Some is good, more is better, too much is just right.

Years ago, a young fellow stormed out of the shop with the words, "F#$K you guys, I'm walking!"

A voice from across the shop yells, "Thank God! We're all tired of carrying you!"

I don't think laughter from the whole shop is the reaction the kid expected to his departure.
