From Steinbecks "In Dubious Battle":
" 'Christ knows I don't want luxury, but I don't want to get batted around the way all the kids I know got it. Lunch pail in the morning witha piece of soggy pie and a thermos bottle of stale coffee...'
Mac said 'You've picked a hell o fa fine life if you don't want to get batted around. Wait til we finish this job, you'll get batted plenty.'
'That's different', Jim protested, 'I don't mind getting smacked on the chin. I just don't want to get nibbled to death. That's the difference.' "
