Well yes, I won’t lie to you, especially since you currently hold the much sought after and impressive, Member of the Year title. But yes, I won’t deny it; I am somewhat concerned about the prospect of drowning. It’s not the going quietly in my bed overnight death I would prefer, given the choice.
That’s uncommonly kind of you founty old sport. You are indeed a kind and generous gentleman and a worthy holder of the esteemed Member of the Year title. But, after a great deal of thought, I must decline your thoughtful offer and I hope you won’t think any less of me for doing so. For your greater understanding, I shall expand upon my reasons in the next post.
