As Churchill is rumored to have said when a censor circled a sentence in
one of his speeches because it ended with a preposition, "This is
obviously the work of an impertinent clerk, and is something up with which
I will not put."
Methinks you have seen "War of the Roses" one too many times.
I assume you snicker at those people who are proud of having worked under
someone famous. Or at Snow White, who, when she married the prince,
thanked all the little people who made her success possible. (Of course
you remember the 7 vertically challenged persons Doc, Dopey, Sneezy, Dumbo,
Huey, Louie, and Dewey.)
Is it Friday, yet?
