You poor thing... you look all hot and tired.
Come and lie down and let me mop your furrowed brow with a cool cloth, while you sip some of this 
I have on ice.
Now... I was wondering whether you might have a position for me in your cabinet? Perhaps your vice is in need of an intern? I'm amply qualified and can supply exceptional references.
I'm available to start immediately. Just say the word, and I can be at your beck and call, night or day...

Ooooh with service like that, how could I refuse!! 
What would you like your title to be? It can be anything you like, as long as it's not already taken. Eg., 'Minister of Cornflowers', or 'Minister for Mopping Furrowed Brows'.

Minister for Cornflowers sounds good.
What will my official duties be then? *mops Peregrin's forehead again, and refills his glass*
Will I be at the beck and call of all the president's men... or just the senior ones?
El Presidente
Peregrin Posted Aug 1, 2001
Minister for Cornflowers it is! 
I've added you to the roster.
Your official duties? Err.... I'd hate to give you too much to do as nobody else bothers to do their jobs around here... Handing cornflowers to those in need would be good, oh and mopping my brow and filling my glass is undoubtedly a good thing
El Presidente
Venus In Cornflowers Posted Aug 1, 2001
Handing out cornflowers is my speciality.

How are you feeling today mine presidente?
Would you like me to feed you grapes one at a time, or shall I just open the
Yes... you definitely deserve someone to fan you... I will make it my task to find and appoint a worthy and reliable palm leaf waver... someone who can be trusted to be discreet.

*puts cornflowers in vases*
mmmmmmm... grapes....
I wonder... if people start treating me like this, could I convince them to build a massive pointless pile of stones?
That's what the Pharoahs did when they were bored, anyway
El Presidente
Venus In Cornflowers Posted Aug 2, 2001
If you want a pile of stones, perhaps I should fetch you some plums instead?
Really... I should have got those vases for you. I'm not doing my job properly at all.
