Quoting Babs Gonzalez,

"... a real _boss_ arrangement ..."

It'd be interesting to know whether the baker was "boss" as a master
of his craft or merely as a supervisor of other bakers.

Used to know a chick named Betty Boss. Wish I had a dollar for every
time that the poor woman had to listen some putz say, "Damn, Betty!
Fine as you is, you *stone* boss!" or some such.
