I would like to offer my services "at the pleasure of the president."

Genji, are you with me?

What kind of moron invented this phrase? I bet this comes from Victorian England and refers to the king...

It would my pleasure to bust your arse when the president is fired for having pleasure of lieing while in office.

Another newbie!!!!

"Pleasure" is a Norman word, not a Saxon word. Perhaps that's royal jargon from France.

I laughed when I saw this thread here. It looks like someone watches the Daily Show.

I sure hope he's not. Someone has to draw the line at pleasuring homicidal rednecks of the same sex.

I wouldn't be surprised if the first attested use was from Bush.
