well I'll tell you (Patreon)

what it is, pardner – I cain't hablo the durn inglés so good jes' now, but I'll be back next week. I'm going to say something now that is a quotation and also a joke, meaning that I didn't say it, someone else said it, and that person was saying it in a jocose manner: "Mail me Percs." Haha. The richness of Haig's wit.

(One time I heard somebody argue that Douglas Haig is the greatest anti-imperialist, anticolonialist figure in the history of the United Kingdom, "because, at the most savage and rapacious height of the British Empire, Haig did what no other man could've done: he killed 2 million white Englishmen.")
