I took real Latin in secondary school, and over the years, it's proved
really quite useful in working out the meanings of words, as many have a
Latin base. Sadly, the very great majority of government schools no longer
teach it. It has been replaced with other useful subjects like how not to
get pregnant, and making the best use of the social security system if you
do...


My latin teacher had a bad habit of jumping ahead several chapters,
and asking about material we hadn't covered. I found out she had
ABSOLUTELY no sense of humor when I replied, 'It's all Greek to me'.

My favorite humor is what i call. a 'Stealth Pun". Some people don't
get them for days, or even weeks, then I get a phone call, or a visit
when they get it.
