"Lo! by the laying on of hands,"2009 Update: The explanation accompanying a request.
Say parson, priest and dervise,
"We consecrate your cash and lands
To ecclesiastical service.
No doubt you'll swear till all is blue
At such an imposition. Do."

IMPOSITION, n. The act of blessing or consecrating by the laying on of hands — a ceremony common to many ecclesiastical systems, but performed with the frankest sincerity by the sect known as Thieves.

IMPOSITION, n. One conducive to neither recreation nor procreation.
In French, the word for tax is [un] impôt. At least they're up front about it. Unlike in these Untied States, where children in the public schools are led to believe that a tax is something that arrives in a taxi. Until it's too late.

religious missionaries ringing my doorbell during a nap. ...

Whatever it is I know it is far worse when the imposer calls it a "tiny imposition".
I actually rad it as "inpostion", that I could have handled. And yes, I found out last week that it's not a word. ;)

You should do something about your cat's eyeballs and frightening grimace.
Could a veterinarian help?
Jim, its no imposition to me.
Amoeba, in France its mostly impot.
Sure, Pia, probably. Submit a work request.
Indeed, TLP!
Absolutely, Actonbell. Twister is a violation of my rights as a citizen and a klutz.
Sauerkraut, that could be another example.

Karen, that brings a special kind of missionary.
