I have searched high and low for the words to fully capture my feelings on this occasion. However, one great philosopher and social scientist seems most appropriate. Pandit Kneeru succinctly said "I know de daag, you know de daag, we all know de daag."

Furthermore, I'd like to thank all of your (including the alcoholic terrorist and Parosin) for pleading my case. You're all class acts in my book.
