Quote of the Day (Kurt Luchs, With a Backhanded Job Recommendation)

“Kurt's influence on everyone in our company was so extensive that there are still employees who won't start their cars without checking under the hood first. You ask how and why Kurt left our company. Unfortunately, a court order prevents me from sharing all the details. But I can say in perfect candor that I heartily recommend Kurt as a resourceful and indefatigable addition to some other firm—any other firm.”— American humorist and poet Kurt Luchs, “Letter of Recommendation,” The New Yorker, Mar. 22, 1999 issue
