My grandfather was once told, "your employer doesn't pay you what you're worth!"

He responded "of course he doesn't, how else would he stay in business?"

He also became a rifle instructor in the US Army, after enlisting in 1939, because on the range one day another recruit asked if something about the M-1 Garand was a certain way, the instructor replied "naturally", and he objected "nothing natural about it, someone designed it that way".

A senior officer happened to be passing…
