"yes and Mr Hospital Administrator, the only reason we will be a bit late is because we delayed applying for the CE mark so we could time the mark's issue to perfection. We were taken aback when we discovered that bureacrats might delay things. The bureacrats and our consultants told us that there wouldnt be any delays, even though we are just a little company which has never manufactured or sold a medical device before. We thought that was all dandy. Who would have thought there would ever be any delay? That's just crazy talk! So, Mr administrator, you wont beleive it: there was a delay! and then the Olympics happened (we forgot to look at our calendars), so there was no staff around, but we think that once they're all back from the boozer, it will be all good and no more ulcers. So buy some VG please."
