I'm sorry, but I must protest both these nominations.  While I don't 
doubt Joywitch's sex (I was too cowardly to suggest a thorough 
investigation when she came to England), I think she has rested too 
much on her laurels in the curmudgeon department.  I'm pretty sure 
that's *dust* on her cauldron, in fact, and she really said some 
quite nice things about Martha's spoon.

As for the Command Major, she lacks a key qualification in my 
judgement.  Your true bitch is always nice to your face, and gets 
her bitching in when your back is turned - or so it is on this side 
of the Atlantic.  I feel there is insufficient evidence of this 
characteristic here.  Merely being the person who actually runs the 
Army isn't enough.

You need to try harder.
