The Evils of Drink


In which Mike faces a linguistic challenge

So. When a mate says unto you, "We must meet, verily; for I am in London for two days and not Mainz" and you think to yourself, well, that's handier for just an evening, what do you expect? Do you expect maybe a meal, a few glasses of wine, and perhaps light conversation in Italian? Or do you expect this?

Ich hatte kein Deutsch seit mindestens zwei Jahren gesprochen. Ich kann mich nur an drei oder vielleicht vier Sätze errinnern. Ich errinnere mich sogar nicht an wie man "errinern" buchstabiert. Und ich habe auch mein Wörterbuch verloren. Lieber Christoph, zum nächsten Mal, dimmi in anticipo che l'italiano non mi basterà! Comunque mi sono divertito un sacco.
-- Professors Rummel Senior, should you see this, rest assured that he was really terribly well behaved.
