What, more bureaucracy? As a bureaucrat, I must object, you are
diluting my power by these schemes. Rather than be official
(officious?) let us find a Vendor of Forgotten Supplies, a Bazzar of the

might fatten a merchantile purse, and we bureaucrats would profit from
the taxes. (A satirical, practical response.)
