I reply:
There comes a time when one must disagree with even as great a sage as you,
sir. One does not perform these tasks because they are easy, one performs
them because they are hard. As you know there is a right way to do
something and a wrong way, if not more than one wrong way. I, sir, refuse
to compromise. What would it compare to lose a finger or two, even a thumb
per chance, at the expense of doing things the true Imperial way. Rigor,
hardship, torture and exasperation, this is the way of the Imperial. Blood,
sweat and tears, translated by the men of the Royal Navy to "Rum, sodomy and
the lash," these are merely the beginner's trials on the road to Imperial
correctness.
Next you will be encouraging the use of jacks and jack stands when changing
wheels, or to keep the vehicle stationary when fixing the brakes. To put it
bluntly, sir, your suggestion is merely the thin end of the wedge. I will
say it with pride, sir. Never, never, take anything less than the wrong end
of the stick. Compromise, you say?
Bah, humbug, to you sir, bah, humbug!
Hugh
