Now, quit yer snivveling, Balby. And just remember those immortal and inspiring words by Mayor Lepetomane:
“Work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work. Hello, boys. I haven’t seen you in a while. Work, work, work, work.”

And just a quick piece of advice, I’m not sure the lovely Mrs. Balby would appreciate you discussing her snoring. Seriously.

Said in March 24th, 2008 @8:57 pm Inconceivable. I have NEVER heard the lovely Mr. Balby snore.

I don’t work for the federal government and I have an extra day off … ‘course 90% of my company’s business is realated to the fed so there’s no point in being there. Poor Balby.
