A very good friend of mine, both immensely intelligent and dashingly
handsome, did most of that translation. And might I add, he earned a nickel
or two to rub together out of it.

Now riddle me this, batman: Should the government of Aichi pay some other
incredibly handsome, intelligent, and cultured translator a big-ole sack of
nickels SO THAT CONTRACTORS CAN BID WITH THEM?

Or should they let the contractors do their own damn translations if they
want the contract?
