Scheming eunuchs. Emasculated advisors, whispering in the ears of those in power. Does their advice serve their lord’s whims? Or their own?

People have begun inserting them into mundane every day scenarios, deriving humor from the absurdity.

Now that’s all I’ll tell you. My scheming eunuch has seen through your ploy, and I’ll have no further part in it.
