Whosoever shall be enamored of humiliation may query us for the purpose of ascertaining the adroit opinions of the snottiest entity on earth. It may inquire about whatever it wishes, and it shall enjoy the reward of our snippy and invective sarcasm. We await its feeble efforts at constructing sentences with bated breath.

It’s like a cross between Queen Elizabeth I and Jaime Gumm, with a dash of bjorn-style provocation disguised as obtuseness. Please stop.

If it does not wish to savor a smell, perhaps it ought not to leave its nose to linger.
