   I occasionally manage to work in "Thanks muchly" or "Niet problemski", but   
   it tends to go over the heads of most of them since they're all Big Brother   
   watchers.  The fools.  Of course I fully retract that remark in the cases of   
   the people who are doing my performance review next week.  They're wonderful   
   people and I won't hear a word against them.
