Subject: Re: Anybody Find My Watch? It Ain't me, Babe!

This is Bob and Harley. I am in contact with Dick, and can attest to his kindness, and he writes good poetry, too!

Once, during a visit to Montreal, I took a taxi back to my hotel, and found I had left my wallet in the cab. I can't sign my name and so I had cash, as travelers checks have to be signed. I was beside myself, because it was all my money. I called the cab company, and the driver returned, bringing me my wallet; he hadn't taken a dime. I gave him a $50 reward, which he did take, but it was well worth it. I honestly don't know what I would have done if that wallet weren't returned to me. Now I use my credit card, and i have a stamp with my signature, which someone helped me try to write. Sometimes, I tell my friends to "close their eyes and write with their left hand". That is what my mother said to say and it works, unless the person is ambidextrous!

P.S. Cloretta Scott King is a powerful, eloquent speaker. I did not realize Martin Luther King was so young when he was shot.

Subject: Back to school!

Here are a few latin expressions I'll bet none of us learned in school!

Die dulci fruere.
Have a nice day.

Labra lege.
Read my lips.

Mihi ignosce, cum homine de cane debeo congredi.
Excuse me, I've got to see a man about a dog.

Noli me vocare, ego te vocabo.
Don't call me, I'll call you.

Canis meus id comedit.
My dog ate it.

Facut gaudeam.
Make my day!

Illiud Latine dici non potest.
You can't say that in Latin.

Quantum materiae materietur marmota monax si marmota monax materiam possit materiari?
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Vescere bracis meis.
Eat my shorts!

Stultus est sicut stultus facit.
Stupid is as stupid does.

Nupperinme de Gallia huc volavi! Mehercule, bracchia mea defatiga sunt!
I just flew in from Gaul, and boy are my arms tired!

Thanks to GRS for the Latin bits. Indeed, I did not learn any of those in school. What I did learn was that "Cave Canem", which everyone knows means "Beware of the dog" also means "Beware I may sing".
