I was just reading Ring for Jeeves and ran into a sentence about the rivers Me Wang and Wang Me.

...

Totally innocent, right?

On another note, I was re-reading Terry Pratchett's Jingo (which, by the way, features a warrior butler), and some sequences are dripping with Wodehousean influence. Prime example:

'Carrot?'
'Yes, sir?'
'I want you to listen very carefully to the order I am about to give you.'
'Certainly, sir.'
'The point I'm making is that it won't be a request or a suggestion or some sort of a hint.'
'Understood, sir.'
'I have, as you know, always encouraged my officers to think for themselves and not blindly obey me, but sometimes in any organization it is necessary for instructions to be followed to the letter and with alacrity.'
'Right, sir.'
'Untie me right now or you'll bloody well live to regret untying me!'
'Er, sir, I believe there's an inadvertant inconsistency in-'
'Carrot!'
'Of course, sir.'

The hangover cure was love. And yes, I squeed about the dedication as well. ^_^
