... because I still find Baboo Jabberjee by F. Anstey incredibly funny?

Addendum ---

I think it's familiarity with the solicitations from the widows of Nigerian dictators, beseeching your assistance in the movement of furtive pelf from that territory, that makes "babu English" funny again. The same elaborate obsequiousness, the attempts at high formality that go astray, is newly familiar to us all.
