Close enough for Government work.

On the other hand, if you try that on your dissertation for your PhD in
physics, you may end up working at McDonalds.

Hi Bill,

My first assignment out of Metrology school was in Charleston S. C.
loaned to the SeaBees (because my ship was still in Rota Spain). They
took full stock of my million dollar training and found I was
qualified to dig ditches in the clay banks along the Charles river.
They were impressed I knew which end of the shovel went into the
ground and we became fast friends (made me an honorary SeaBee).

Navy motto, "those that work hard together, play hard together" (I
had already learned that from my Pig-boat buddies.)
