We've waged war on work. We have collectively agreed, stupidly, that work is the enemy.

I can say the willingness to get dirty has always defined us as an nation, and it's a hallmark of hard work and a hallmark of fun, and dirt is not the enemy.

Work hard AND smart.

I don't think the war in Afghanistan was ruthlessly enough waged.

The thing that makes 'Dirty Jobs' different is that it's one of the few shows that portrays work in a way that doesn't highlight the drudgery. Instead, it highlights the humor.

Back in the day, when the emperor or the king or whatever waged war, they went to war, too. But that's been lost in time.
