I could’ve been a judge, but I never ‘ad the Latin… I never ‘ad the Latin to get through the rigorous judging exams. They’re very rigorous, the judging exams, very rigorous indeed. They’re noted for their rigor. People come out of them saying, “My God, what a rigorous exam!” And so I become a miner instead. I managed to get through the mining exams. They’re not very rigorous. They’re no rigor involved really. There’s a complete lack of rigor involved in the mining exams.
They only ask you one question. They say, “Who are you?” And I got 75 percent on that.
