Currency can be arranged. However, because of union rules, I'll have to send it
by special courier: a rather large chap of negligible intelligence and
skid-marks on his knuckles, whose name I will refrain from mentioning (for no

has an unnatural affection for mice. This is germane to nothing in particular,
but should he wish to stroke your hair....
