	A story related to me by a Swiss machine shop head: the first piece
you're given is a solid steel cube (approx. 2").  The object is to make a
sphere out of it using only a file.  The <teaching-type> inspects it, and,
if he likes it, you can go on to the next job.  What is the next job?  You
guessed it.  Make it square again.

	I guess that's why only the Swiss make Swiss watches.
