Poor unfortunate creature! No one understands the sublime scope of his
subtlety...sniff, sniff, sigh, sigh. Someday, the world may come to
comprehend the noble plane of ambiguous excellence from whence he has
descended to grace us with his wit, yet, alas, wait we must until that
day dawns bright and true...
