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.
Nice one ! But I guess we better stop talking about all this stuff now, before that *other* Michael come screaming around the corner in his police Noddy-car, to arrest us and throw us into the cyberspace void for off-topic chatting ... d;~)

He'd have to find me first. Do you have any idea how many 'Michael A. Terrell's there are in the US? Or how many have unlisted phone numbers? ;-)
Or where this shop is, so OSHA can shut them down?
we're allowed to use remaining quantity as long as we have proper storage for haze mat chemicals. we. do.. end of story. Just not legal any more to buy it and in the first place it was a specialty product for industrial use only.
If I remember, i'll get the chemical composition of it this week in work.
