This reminded me of a line from - I think - Blackadder (UK TV comedy),
that went something like:

- this poor man is sick of the Palsy - he has been afflicted 7 years.
- I'm not surprised - if I'd had it for 7 years, I'd be pretty sick of
the Palsy!
(Boom, boom!)

Sorry about the non-Kate content - I'll go away now.
