angledgeOn Thursday, I was complaining to Des about some maps he’d had me produce for a project. "Des," I grumbled, "these maps aren’t even to scale!"
"They don’t need a scale. Just print them out, all right?" he replied.
"But Des, in our contract, we said we were going to follow the ASTM standard for this report. And the ASTM standard specifies scaled maps!"
"Oh, tish-tosh! We say a lot of things."
So there you have it: contractual language is null & void. WTF does "tish-tosh" mean, anyway?
