I mean, it's not a coincidence that Jeeves is fully aware that Wooster is an energetic halfwit in those stories.

A guy I'm mates with, former union rep where I used to work, is at the Your Party conference. He's posted his lanyard, which reads "this is your party" with the caption "well, let's see shall we?"

My kid and her friends are running a stall at their school fair, selling crochet stuff they made. It's pretty fun watching all her gothy alt friends pop by, and also realising she has achieved a level of cool that far exceeds anything I could have done at that age.
