One of my spies (and not the usual one.  This is good!) forwarded an email from someone who was obviously rather pleased to be asked to review a manuscript:

 

Respected Sir,

Thank you very much for selecting me as a referee for your esteemed journal. Your journal is one of my favorite journal that is why i am too much interested to be a part of it (as author and referee).

I am sorry for my late reply because of engagements in students tour to different research stations of XXXX and because of the severe electric load-shedding these days.

I have the hard copy of the article (#####), I will check the paper during the study tour from Friday to Tuesday, and the comments will be communicated to your good office as soon as possible.

With best regards:

Dr $NAME

Mangled mother tongues aside, this is precisely the kind of attitude the Black Knight would like to encourage amongst his minions.  Set to it, troops.
