Quote of the day
Jim Hacker: It was the one question today to which I could give a clear, simple, straightforward and honest answer.
Sir Humphrey: Yes. Unfortunately, although the answer was indeed clear, simple and straightforward, there is some difficulty in justfiably assigning to it the fourth of the epithets you applied to the statement, inasmuch as the precise correlation between the information you communicated and the facts insofar as they can be determined and demonstrated is such as to cause epistemological problems of sufficient magnitude to lay upon the logical and semantic resources of the English language a heavier burden than they can reasonably be expected to bear.
