And the plebe said, "I was a barber, sir." So Eisenhower made up his mind never again to ridicule (or as they used to say in Latin, to never again deliberately ridicule) honest work.<br /><br />Now I feel guilty for outing you as a non-accredited high school graduate. Probably you were tutored by an au pair with a Ph.D. in French Literature. Or Vietnamese monks translating sutras into Latin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081447.post-49066264703327808272013-07-11T14:24:29.745-07:002013-07-11T14:24:29.745-07:00Thanks for the clarification.

Folks, never leave your pet unattended in a car!<br /><br />You and Ramona should've at least looked up the law on the DMV website. It only applies to a child less than six, unless supervised by a child at least twelve. It only applies when a) health and safety are endangered or b) keys are in the ignition. So if you run into the 7-11 for a quart of milk, you might still be able to beat the rap.<br /><br />We need a federal law to never. I mean to never split an infinitive. Did you attend an accredited high school? Not in California, one hopes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
