Ether way congratulations

Congratulations. I just started my next 34 oz cup of coffee. I raise it in toast to your accomplishment! Can I borrow your helmet in case I start bouncing off of walls and such?

Clan looked at me weird when I held up my mug and said; "Heres to Hat and his LEGG." Not kidding, I did this and then I left the room.
Strange looks...as usual.

Congrats!

Congratulations on your promotion. A few moments ago, I raised a glass of my favourite bourbon to you in toast. My two year old saw me, raised her sippy cup and shouted "cheers". She always looks for an opportunity to tap our drinking glasses together. Thank you for your service.
