[Infowarrior] - Holiday Wishes

[Richard Forno]

This is an appropriate quote (from perhaps one of my all-time favorite  
TV shows), especially coming from someone inside the DC Beltway......

Sir Humphrey: "I wonder if I might crave your momentary indulgence in  
order to discharge a, by-no-means disagreeable obligation, which is  
over the years become more or less an established practice within  
government circles as we approach the terminal period of the year --  
the calendar of course, not the financial. In fact, not to put a too  
fine a point on it, week 51, and submit to you, with all appropriate  
deference for your consideration at a convenient juncture, a sincere  
and sanguine expectation and indeed confidence....indeed one might go  
so far 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 of being deemed to be such, as to merit the  
final verdict of having been, by no means unsatisfactory in it¹s  
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."

Jim Hacker: [dourly] "Humphrey, are you saying Happy Christmas?"

Sir Humphrey: "Yes Minister!"

Translation:    Happy Holidays to all!!  :)
