ORIGINAL: ggallagher Historical anecdote to keep us amused in the meantime: Well, a "folk etymology" anyway.. [;)] The term pre-dates Mr Patterson by at least a century, and predictably enough relates to fireams. A cartridge is empty when "fired", as is a desk when it's occupant has been told his services are no longer required. I can't believe that bloody VAT fault is still there.. [:(]
