    Historic Century

    Meet State's Most Mediocre Officer L. Jess Fonitin. Jess made a robustly adequate contribution to the international air guitar freeedom report. Are you air guitaring the clearance page? His work for a visiting delegation of congressional staffers was hailed as "Just Fine." Here's your per diem. Okay. Thanks. That's just fine. Jess demonstrated a moderate level of competence in the local language. Icky icky. Shamalama ding dong! Why does he demand my lemur? While his entry in the embassy chili cookoff was not a finalist, it offended nobody. It's not too salty... that is true... Jess brings to all his diplomatic work the operational effectiveness of one full functioning kidney. Hey it's all your really need!
