Thank you, I needed the laugh.
Sometimes, getting the idea that checking one's work is necessary proves
to be a hard lesson to teach to some of those young whippersnappers. I
live and work in Reno NV, so I put the lesson in terms they can understand:
"A triple check beats a double-cross."
This is sufficiently annoying to people that they do indeed check their
work...so they don't have to listen to me spout this cliche when things
get screwed up.
