    Evan threw down a challenge to come up with some "Laughable Latin":-

    Peccavi — I have Sind. (British military dispatch from what is now Pakistan)

    Lapsus linguae = The way a cat or a dog drinks.
    Magnum bonum = I like this private detective.
    Nemo malus felix = The cat ate the goldfish.
    Orbiter dictum = Radio communication from a spaceship.
    Pollice verso = The cop’s car turned over.
    QED = Quite easily done.
    Quid novi = Crisp new British banknotes.
    Rus in urbe = Marina’s in town.
    SPQR = Small profits, quick rewards.
    Sic transit gloria mundi = The van has broken down, I get Monday off work.
    Testis unus, testis nullus = Hitler & Göbbels.
    Vice versa = Lewd poetry.

    THAT'S AMORE.

    When the moon hits your eye, Like a big pizza pie,
    That's amoré.

    When an eel bites your hand, And that's not what you planned,
    That's a moray.

    When your horse munches straw, And the bales total four,
    That's some more hay.

    When a Japanese knight, Uses his sword in a fight,
    That's Samurai.

    When your sheep go to graze, In a damp marshy place,
    That's a moor, eh?

    When you ace your last tests, Like you did all the rest,
    That's some more "A"s!

    When on Mt. Cook you see, An aborigine,
    That's a Maori.

    PYRMAMID SCHEME

    Evan Owen says: 158.4 May 6, 2009 at 1:01 pm
    anubisfortytwo:

    Don’t mind all these jokers. The name “pyramid” comes from an incident in which two Arabs were wandering in the desert:

    Abdul: “Wow! The view is great from on top this pile of rocks!”
    Hamid: “I can’t see you. What pile of rocks?”
    Abdul: “Up here, Hamid!”

    Your turn, Bob!
