One of the other drivers took a disliking to me and tried to make my life harder than need be - so every time it was his turn to go out to deliver another load of concrete, I would insert random words in his daily crossword.

The Klingons have it right - Revenge is best served cold - but boy was it hard to keep a straight face, as he got more and more angry as he tried to get the (probably) correct words to fit the grid
