Reminded me of a time long ago when I was making my way in the construction
trade and I used the term "parallel" talking to  a job foreman and his
response was, "Fuck you.  Not all of us went to college."

And heck, I hadn't even yet attained my incredible academic career of seven
years at California's finest jr. college.

I was good at high school geometry tho, which is probably a rarity in the
intellectual world of construction workers.

When I was in Jr. College I worked for the city motor pool. There I met a
crusty bunch of civil servants, mostly Klansmen. They could fix a lawn mower
or redo the hydraulics on a backhoe. We had plenty of grounds for mutual
contempt so other than exploring the narrative possibilities of
decontextualizing words like Shit and Fuck, I learned to keep my mouth shut
too.
