{∅, {∅}, {∅, {∅}}} : Rage Against the Meat Grinder

I think the fact that you have not had formal employment for close to twenty years  is something to be proud of.
This cult of cubical worship is rather new. Gentleman ,by definition, were not supposed to work like a domesticated horse but to think.
