And I frequently tell the story of the Indian teacher who went to England and was teaching in a Technical School.

He found that the students, mainly apprentices, kept making fun of his English and of his accent.

One day the poor man reached the end of his tether and shouted at them, "You boys think that I know fuck-nothing. But I tell you, I know fuck-all."
