“Should you inquire about a potential difficulty during a journey, beware the agent who assures you, “Sir,”—or Madam—“that will be no problem at all.”
What he means is, “Sir,”—or Madam—“I personally shall not be troubled in the slightest by what you anticipate. When you encounter it, I shall be safe at home, and snug in my own bed.”
