You didn't need another clue into how weird my mind works, but "referral to a specialist" immediately shifted my mind to the frog-hunter in The Muppet Movie. What kind of career is frog-hunter, anyway?
 Would that be twenty American, Canadian, or spacebucks?

Since PHJ is in the UK, I'd first assume that means National Health, and thus pounds sterling (£), but he did use the $ sign, so most likely US currency. Then again, this is PHJ, so it could well be HK dollars, just out of spite.

I thought that the UK was using the euro now.
What's a HK dollar?

Count on the British to stay contrary whenever they can. At least they decimalized the pound, though, right?
Oh, sure, all of us need to keep track of every currency code in the entire world. Maybe we should have an amero, an africo, and asio, and so on.

I suppose I should make it clear - by $ I do of course mean Ankh Morporkian dollars. Yes, it's a fictional currency, but that pretty much means I can make up whatever exchange rate I like. $20 does after all sound a lot less than £5000, though of course I'm willing to waive the whole fee in exchange for a contract selling me your soul and your firstborn child.

Wait, mudshark is British?
 (We buy out milk in pints and all our road signs are in miles, and that's where it counts, right?)

I like to feel that you're at least British in spirit, old bean.

Well, I've been there once, at any rate, though not much further north than Banbury, I'm afraid.

Oh yes, we cling. Fiercely. We stick to our stubborn ways more than Spider-Man sticks to walls.

You're not Robert Kilroy-Silk in disguise, are you?

No. I'm a pragmatist and I'm euro-sceptic.
It wouldn't be in our interests to tie ourselves into the European economy, if we take a purely pragmatic view. Besides, what would Kilroy-Silk know about Egypt? His map of the world is divided into 'Englund' and 'Forun'.

Did you mean eurocentric, or did you actually mean euroskeptic? 'Cause I'm the latter. "Europe, it'll never last..."
Not really.

Valium is usually pretty precise. I suspect he meant just what he said.
Or were you just trying to make someone else look up "euro-scepticism" for you?
