#1 I wonder if I might crave your momentary indulgence in order to discharge a by no means disagreeable obligation which has, over the years, become more or less established practice in government service as we approach the terminal period of the year calendar, of course, not financial in fact, not to put too fine a point on it, Week Fifty-One and submit to you, with all appropriate deference, for your consideration at a convenient juncture, a sincere and sanguine expectation indeed confidence indeed one might go so far as to say hope that the aforementioned period may be, at the end of the day, when all relevant factors have been taken into consideration, susceptible to being deemed to be such as to merit a final verdict of having been by no means unsatisfactory in its overall outcome and, in the final analysis, to give grounds for being judged, on mature reflection, to have been conducive to generating a degree of gratification which will be seen in retrospect to have been significantly higher than the general average.

#8 Holly Madison looks like a very healthy woman, but it looks like she has trouble, climbing stairs, perhaps she has had too much champagne...poor dear.

And Sir Humphrey Appleby, poor man, is suffering with verbal diarrhea over this holiday season.

Lo siento mucho, espero que te mejores pronto señor Humphrey Appleby !

#9 Sir Hump, it is a tough job but not entirely without a few gratificating perks despite the lack of recompense--the reward is truly within such heavenly work itself.

Deck us all with Boston Charlie, Walla Walla Wash and Kalamazoo. Nora's freezing on the trolley, ... [sung to the tune of "Deck the Halls"] :-D
