It was SOO good I'm still kinda reeling from it. Like, after all that,
Let it go with this: I don't think Dave thought of himself, as an “efficiency expert” but every job he ever held he simplified. His successor always had less work to do than his predecessor.
I was like, okay, I want to be Dave-like, this is my modest goal in life. If I achieve this, I'm good. It is not much but this is how we eventually lift ourselves to Heaven. Sniff.
LKYs Chinese is actually not that good from what I remember. He was better at some of the Malay and other ethnicity languages from the area like Penang
I think the public is to accepting of bad speeches, 99% of politicians don't even try to hide that they're reading off a speech off a card or teleprompter that they've just seen for the first time. Probably doesn't help that the actual delivery is forgotten about in seconds while news talking heads will pick apart word choice devoid of context for days.

Holy frick that was hilarious! I cannot stop laughing! Take my upmarsey! Take another from my second account! Heck, take a silver, why not? Scratch that, a gold! Scratch that, a platinum even! God, just come to my house and plunge your 2-incher into my gaping butthole already! You can have my wallet afterwards too! Take the credit cards too, I'll even give you the PIN numbers! Heck, you can take the whole darn house while you're at it! You can even have my wife and kids if you want! I'm willing to go into poverty just because your post on reddit.com was that funny! I think there's only one thing that would have made your post even funnier, though:

Extra points for it being in English.
