“There are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds.”   —   Gilbert K. Chesterton

(I think they might have been trying to throw us off a bit by writing out “Gilbert” when most people just look for the “G” in G.K. Chesterton.  The quote wasn’t all that cryptic.)   —   YUR

Clue/Question:  What the marginal worker did to better his lot.

Answer:  A LOT BETTER 

(Looks like poor Milt is about to have a coronary!  While the retro-dressed “manager” looks as fresh as the proverbial daisy.  Guys – and gals – like Milt always end up doing, at least, twice the work of their managers, for probably – if lucky -around half of the pay.  And, no doubt, Milt probably gets about half the time off as the “manager” does too.  More work and more stress. Less pay, benefits and respect.  Our Milt is the American worker.  The American hero!)   —   YUR
