I thought he'd explained that he had "dictionary" on the brain having
had to use one to look up "recidivist". He therefore keyed it by
mistake instead of "distance" but left it in because he liked it. That
was my interpretation of his rambling anyway. :-)

Well, it hasn't been yet. But it has been threatened.

Interesting situation.

If the person has the power to send you packing, and you really want to
stay, then I'd suck it up and pony up for some mama charis.

If he's just all talk, I'd continue to tell him to **** off. But just be
polite about it (I'll talk it over with my wife, I need to consider my
finances, ad infinitum)

This is almost good advice. Never say no, say manana. "We are
striving to correct the situation..." "Looking of suitable single
bikes....", "Yes thank you, we are doingour best to comply..."

Mine too. But that bit didn't get quoted, and yes, maybe I was careless
in not putting it back in....

I don't give a **** if the expression has been adopted into Japanese

squeaky wheels greased than I have seen protruding nails hammered
down.

Ah the instant expert


Thanks for the link, but the day I need the observations of some
pointy-headed academic warming a chair at the international studies
department of some jerkwater US university in order to form an opinion
about whether the squeaky wheel getting the grease metaphor has
supplanted the nail being hammered down metaphor I'll just pack up my
carpetbag and be moving along.

Since you've already made your mind up it I'll leave you to your quaint views.
Good luck with whatever business you are doing there.

He hammers down protruding bikers.
