Oh my Lord! Just as I had about decided to depart this vale of ....acid
remarks...for want of time to wade through it, I get an opportunity like
this
to share a high school latin class gag:

O si vile si ergo -
fortibus es in ero.

O nobile, themis trux;
si vatis inem, causen dux!
.........................

. When I was sixteen the local barber had that verse framed on the wall. All
us catholic school kids studied Latin but none of us could decipher it. We
finally dragged the Latin teacher down to the barber shop. He also failed.
After I graduated the barber told me the translation. I was sure it had
something to do with Seville.
