Well, it made me laugh this morning!Originally posted by Ruprect View PostGrammar is important! Capitalisation is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your Uncle jack off a horse."The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." CiceroComment
