This was written on a light over a draftsman's table in AUBIGJOE's office....
I am left handed, hook handed and was a pretty bad draftsman.
Unless very careful I would smear the pencil or ink...
AUBIGJOE was a great draftsmen, his letters were very distinct and his drawings were works of art.
He did not think much of my penmanship, and did not trust CAD drafting or programs....
Another thing was most of the draftsmen smoked and there was an ashtray at every table
whether they smoked or did not.
AUBIGJOE would go from table to table, light a new cig, talk to the draftsmen, set the cig in the ashtray,
talk somemore, walk to the next table and light a new cig.
After 10 minutes or he would have 5 or so plumes of smoke rising from 5 different ashtrays...
