Erm, actually, the quote is nearly correct, but he was talking about wine. It's from a letter he wrote to a friend.

What he did say:

We hear of the conversion of water into wine at the marriage in
Cana as of a miracle. But this conversion is, through the goodness
of God, made every day before our eyes. Behold the rain which
descends from heaven upon our vineyards; there it enters the roots of
the vines, to be changed into wine; a constant proof that God loves
us, and loves to see us happy. The miracle in question was only
performed to hasten the operation, under circumstances of present
necessity, which required it.

I say arsebiscuits a lot.
I also made a little laminated sign on a stick with FFS on it, and gave it to my clientco boss. He now just waves it in the air when he is annoyed at the latest batch of pointless management emails. I borrow it sometimes too.

I like the FFS stick idea.
I once thought about getting two little round badges, for under the coat lapels, one saying yes, the other saying no.

I made some cards for a friend of mine who had problems saying no at work, a red one and a yellow one. He was to hand them over whenever has was asked to do something that he didnt have time to do.
The yellow one was to be used first and it explained nicely how he was too busy, the red one was to be used when the yellow one failed and was a little more blunt!

Dont think they worked, he's still a total people pleasing workaholic.
