@sboldi,
I'm not sure that's right, you guys. I forget my latin, but I'm guessing something like Noli mi temptare. But don't trust me either. I don't even remember what you call the "imperative" in latin, except it looks like the infinitive, much less how to use it. (Think "Noli me tangere".)

@ossobuco,
Yea - that's a problem with dead languages - not too many native speakers around. (Maybe I shold give Vatican a call:) Anyway, thank you for your answer!

George is typing this from a hotel lobby on St. Charles Ave in New Orleans.
He's just a teeny bit drunk.
He'll get on this when he gets back to the 'Chusetts.

@George,
I should have known that. Sorry for misleading you, sboldi. Think I'll stick to the bad jokes threads.

I would never say that in Latin. The Romans were notorious for short tempers . . .
