How did he manage to fit the award ceremony into his busy schedule of having sex with beautiful models? ...Probably with a spreadsheet, now I think about it.

I find it stunning that some people are so intelligent. Excel isn't merely a matter of memorizing rules and lots of practice/experience. You truly have to be sharp as hell to get on this kinda level.

"Michael Jarman, ceremonially situated between two distinguished event representatives,"

"Michael Jarman, strategically positioned in a central location with one individual stationed to his immediate left and another to his immediate right,"
