The replacement has a long history of successfully doing jobs you are not aware of and seems to have had almost zero impact on your life or the lives of anyone you know.

One thing is certain, all of these very important people make a lot more money than most of you and therefore you need to know all this so that you may display the appropriate deference on the extremely slim chance that you ever actually do meet any of these very important people.

The beatings will continue until morale improves. That is all.

We don’t just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.” – James D. Nicoll
