Thanks for that. I've already stolen it and posted it elsewhere. I spent most of my working life being told this tale by Marketing morons and clueless managers, and I really tried to be a team player and live by this adage. But the fact remained that I acting alone consistently accomplished more in a month than any team managed in a year. Now that I've retired to become a gunsmith, I no longer have to listen to Marketing a$$hats or pay even lip service to their asinine adages. 
Will Rogers never met me.

Allow me to say: Congratulations Roger! Making money from a hobby is a blast! Too bad you are far from New Jersey as I may use a gunsmith for some modifications I have in mind.

I suppose it could be an idiom, but doesn't it translate better as "Great. Someone else will do it" ?

What's Google?  And is "ipad" some sort of feminine product?
It's not that hard to come up with words from another word.

Yikes!
An em-space/dash/whatever is the width of height of the font -- i.e. if your font size is 10(units), then the width of an em-space/dash/whatever is 10(units) (source: Em an' En - Real Slim'n'Shady[^] heh)

My mother was a printer for many years back in the offset litho days, and I ended up running the a Print Society at school - which meant assembling forms from type cases.
So when computers started to catch up with proportionally spaced text, I had a head start on all the terms!

This should be a mandatory part of job interviews as well, the world over.
The mind boggles at how an adult can manage to whiz on a toilet seat (regardless of gender!  )It boggles even further at how they aren't decent enough to wipe it up...
