That's surprising to me.  When I was but a preemie in my 20's (I'm an infant in
my 30's now), I temped for the administrative office of the Judicial Council of
California for a year or so, and the phrase "good enough for government work"
was never far from my lips (but far enough that my supervisors didn't hear me
say it), and people seemed to know what I meant.
