His disdain for you is so great that he can’t tell you himself.

Where can I hire this guy!

It is incautious to incur Mr. Crosby’s dark displeasure.

In case you didn’t listen to explainer, Mr. Crosby has his backup team explain it again.Hi Susan, it’s an open bar can I get you a drink?

Ooh, thanks X …. for some reason a Guinness comes to mind…

I think the next time Mr. Crosby speaks, I will listen very very carefully.

“No thanks, I don’t need anything explained to me,” I will say, with a smile.

A big, agreeable smile.

Well, then, X… all things considered, I believe I shall hang on to every one of them.

“Simmering Disdain” ! I love it ! Mr. Crosby’s professional explainer is a man of choice and well chosen words.I think I’ll see if I can hire him, for the next time that I am forced to deal with recalcitrant officials. I wonder if he speaks Spanish ?

Need a ruling! What if the chap on the left has a snootful of “Kahlua Coloda” (or similar)…..who would he smack? The "splainer"or Mr. Crosby?

I think the explainer is picking a fight.

“Marvin the Mouthpiece.”

Mr. Crosby is a big grump.

“Is that a fact?Well, would you be kind enough to inform Mr. Crosby that he will shortly be experiencing a short sharp knee-kick in the area of his groin. In fact, the better to assist your explanations, allow me to demonstrate to you exactly what I mean…”

Welcome back Dry…..His professional explainer later in the soiree.“Mr. Crosby is experiencing gas right now…sorry for the first explanation it was in error.”

an ah gots a simian dish stain fur his pokey dot tie..jus sayin’…oh… HI DRY..!!!!See yall at teh TIKI tunite fer sum yak ‘n’ daks!!!!!.

Are all the gentlemen wearing earrings, or is that a new design in hearing aids?

And why have I met so many guys lately with hearing aids? Very curious; I’ve no problem at all with my own hearing.

Mr Crosby needs to simmer down.

I hear Dry is back, but can’t find her anywhere!

Most guys just have a wife.

Part of my puppyhood!
