Bill Wigglestick

Bill Wigglestick says there is nothing in a name. That may be true, but I confess to a degree of prejudice against that high-toned word, service, being made synonymous with the little word, work. This prejudice has existed ever since the stock breeding brotherhood kidnapped the word service for their own use.

Where I grew up and the high school I went to William Shakespeare was often referred to as Bill Wigglestick.
