Lord Vetinari. He could take some high-up position in the US Government (not President because he’s not born here, but then again, I don’t think making campaign ads and kissing babies would please him too much), and fix _everything_. Also, like Sherlock Holmes, he wouldn’t be too damaged by leaving everyone and everything he knows behind.

I might need surgery. And I think it would be nice to have a servant. To cook meals and clean up. And to get the door hinges to creak _just_ right. And Igors don’t ask pesky questions like “Where am I supposed to get a human brain at this time of night?” or “What the hell do you need 100 virgins for?”

The Librarian wouldn’t tickle him pink if your hubby called him a “monkey”.

Mr. Roarke, who could run a real Fantasy Island. But only if Tattoo gets to come along.
