In order to keep the mood light (and to show that I'm still around), the amount of time being taken to neither return my application nor to process it, I think they'll directly stamp the visa on my passport
(not that they have my passport, just a thought that I had to keep me preoccupied and happy)
It'll be a lol moment if I check my PO Box tomorrow and there's rude surprise waiting for me in the morning ("Dear applicant, we were waiting for you to crack that silly joke on the forum. Now here's your application back")
