Not impossible, just so unpleasant that I wouldn’t do it on vacation. If you’re getting paid for it you probably do have a different opinion on the matter.

Thank you. You do far more important work than I do and we appreciate it.

My father-in-law once asked me how long it would take to teach him how to put people to sleep. I said, five minutes, but if you want them to wake up at the end, a lot longer. We very rarely lose people unexpectedly.
Crystal, or Louisiana Brand, are much more my preference. I just don’t care for Tabasco peppers.
One of the reasons I am an anesthesiologist is that while you might have issues with the surgeon or the surgery, I find that very few people decline my services. If anything, they generally want more.

True, but this was more about what to wear when it’s 35 C, not 5.
