Everything in our bureaucracy is stripped of jollity in order that it be efficient – and yet that is the last thing one could impute to it! Rarely has so great a discrepancy existed between a system and its ideal as that between bureaucracy and efficiency.

Governments come and go but bureaucracies endure (said someone) - and we have to endure them
There's plenty of jollity in the public sector: but it is only visible to the onlooker. The more pompous our officials become, the more entertaining they are. At least we get some play-value out of them, if not much else.
