If I were da owner of one of da largest rototiller manufacturers in da U.S., I imagine dat I would feel a bit "leithargic" by 5 p.m., as well, after chairing countless board meetings and reading and/or signing dozens of corporate documents all day!

A "gentleman's gentleman" who's mainly tasked with proofreading his fumble-fingered master's hastily-composed missives, essays, and other literary creations, pointing out and/or correcting all the errors, and then either passing the resulting "perfected" paperwork back to his boss, or sending said correspondence on its way to it intended recipients.
As clever and talented as Jeeves was, it's entirely probable that he could have also served the dim-witted Bertie Wooster in the role of text-composition butler; perhaps he might instead have suavely suggested that, "You might want to consider a modern word-processor, Sir... it will underline spelling and grammar errors for you, so that you can correct them immediately as you go along."

The totally boring-b**ls**t physics/chemistry-demonstration kit for schools that was put out in the early '70's by Harcourt, Brace & World, Inc. The accompanying lesson-sheets were always irritatingly difficult to work with, and the company seemingly couldn't even spell "classroom" properly on the box's cover --- for years I had always thought it said "glassroom" because the bottom of the "C" and the top of the "L" were interlocked, and so it made da "C" look like a "G".... it was only when my fourth-grade teacher actually mentioned the name of the kit when speaking to another student that I finally realized what the label actually said!
Science class is spota be fun, but don't count on any happiness if your school relies on those insipid "Glassroom Laboratory" kits to teach da subject --- arduous and yuckyyyy...!!!

The handsome-but-ineffective late-20th-centruy president of Iran who strived to attractively "patch things up" around his country, but failed due to the country's horrendously-upheavaled state of affairs at the time.
Maybe if Bonny Solder had applied more "flux" in his political approach, he might have been able to accomplish more positive results in his attempts to repair the damage done during Iran's previous regimes.

A 24-hour period in early Spring when folks behave primitively in order to play pranks on each other.
Geico claims dat signing up for their insurance is so easy dat "a cave man could do it" --- I wonder if anyone jokingly tries getting a chimpanzee or gorilla to sign up wif dem on Aperil Fools Day?

Da celebratory alcoholic drink of choice dat folks break out when their candidate of choice wins the election.
Dunno why people always whoop it up with champaigne at election time --- usually da winning candidate breaks most or all of his political/economic-reform promises and turns out to just be a wimpy pandering jerk similar to da previous head-honcho!

The Watergate predickament was caused mainly by a lot of Washington politicians --- including ol' Tricky himself --- being shady and self-serving.
