The Won will be so darned jealous he doesn’t have a hand washer.

I think I’ll be on the look out for a new “hand washer” czar.

With the economic downturn, I no longer can afford to employ a handwasher at my castle estate in the countryside.

I’m sure many other Americans have suffered the same plight.

Unless you also have no joints in your right arm, I'm guessing you have a great deal less in common with Prince “Tentacles” Philip than you think. [That picture is quite inexplicable otherwise...]
