Not only is the system tapping its dainty foot impatiently,
while waiting, it is fully prepared to turn up its
metaphorical nose at input that fails to meet its exacting

snort of disdain when it refuses improper input.
However, we all sorta wish it would just light the darn
cigarette or just get rid of that infuriating Cruella DeVille
