Damn Greg, I didn't know you were such School Marm. Are you sure you're an engineer?

I have another reason to beware of the Ides of March, it's ny ex-wife's birthday.

my Latin teacher would have slapped the back of my head for that one

No longer do the Latin derivatives help me determine word meanings :(
