From Touch and Go: A Play in Three Acts by D. H. (David Herbert) Lawrence

So said Balaam's ass. But you're not an ass--beg pardon; and you're not Balaam--you're Job. And we've all got to be little Jobs, learning how to spell patience backwards. We've lost our jobs and we've found a Job. It's picking up a scorpion when you're looking for an egg.--Tell us what you propose doing.... Remove an obstacle from the way! What obstacle? And whose way? (JOB ARTHUR: I think it's pretty plain what the obstacle is.) Oh, ay. Tell us then. (JOB ARTHUR: The obstacle to Labour is Capital.) And how are we going to put salt on Capital's tail?
