Labor violations, random question
Nov. 27th, 2008 12:11 amThe spokesman for the Ministry of Labor just announced that, during surprise labor camp inspections, his own company was found to have some labor law minor violations.
On the whole this seems like a very good thing -- they seem to be inspecting their own, and making the results public. (One could still be cynical about this, of course.)
In other news, I was listening to "Love the One You're With" the other day and realized that I've always parsed the line "There's a rose in a fisted glove" as "There's a rose in a gloved fist." But it's not a gloved fist, it's a fisted glove. What on earth is a fisted glove? (No ecchi explanations please.) Do you suppose they meant gloved fist and just switched the words to make it rhyme, or is it supposed to mean something else entirely?
