Reminds me of an old Doonesbury strip during the time Gary Trudeau's HST stand-in, Uncle Duke, was America's ambassador to China:
UNCLE DUKE: They can't replace me! I'm indispensable and Cy knows it! I Made coke an acceptable aperitif at Peking social functions! I turned a moribund embassy golf course into a magnificent rifle range! I was the first Gringo to get stoned on the Great Wall!
HONEY: Are you sure sir? Think about that.
UNCLE DUKE: Oh yeah, What was it that Nixon kept saying?
HONEY: 'It is indeed a great wall.' ... We had to wonder.
