Don't you have more than a few minions with nothing better to do than plot your taking over the world? Surely you need not waste your time with such trivial concerns; installing your hegemony should be a matter of months, if any trouble at all. What good are sidekicks for if you do not use them in your global schemes?
Waste not, want not. Besides, why would I permit a minion a pleasure I deny myself? Silly, silly man.

No. Ponder the possibilities as you savor my inscrutable silence.

I seem to have forgotten to be clear enough. What I alluded at was to make your minions do your biding, in fields as tedious as politics, assassinations and the unwanted complications of ruling over the world, the universe and the rest. In the meantime, you would have more time left for the interesting part of the job, including, but not limited to, gloating, torture and assorted pastimes.

The said minions would still have to be watched, but why would they want to even consider thinking about a betrayal is beyond my understanding. Such ungrateful hirelings they would be if they attempted a backstab, while you took care of seeing to that most welcome guest in your comfy cells.

I am still computing all the subtleties hidden within your very silence, and so cannot answer to this part yet. I should request the assistance of other brains to reach a meager grasp of your mind, however.

You must never forget that the reason that honey is more attractive a lure than vinegar is not because it is sweet, but because it is sticky ...

I cannot fully grasp your meaning; my paltry excuse for this failure will be the hour (two in the morning), and the low number (three by Last count) of neurons still somewhat working in my brain. This meager apology is the best I can give, however.

Hmm, perhaps I should head to bed instead of keeping on with my feeble attempts at flattery (who said "fawning"?).
