rpaul@xxxxxxxx quotes from Phelonorus, who would leaping from one Roman side to
the
Roman side, and expands: "The Romans [...] wisely pointed out that as the
Caspardians were now Romans—like it or not—they had an obligation to do
nothing but mill about in despair for that was what Romans now did—like it or
not
—upon being overrun by Romans."
Sort of, everybody is Roman.
Unless everybody is Hungarian.
The simple truth, George Mikes, once said, is this:
Everybody is Hungarian.
"This is a basic and irrefutable theorem like that of Pythagoras."
"One day," he goes on, "I was explaining to my wife that I had just
discovered that the parents of Alfred Adler were Hungarian."
""So what?", she said."
"What do you mean, 'so what?'?"
"I mean: why SHOULDN'T THEY be Hungarian. If you think of it, everybody is
Hungarian."
"When my wife uttered her theorem I saw that, like Pythagoras's, it was
TRUE and IRREFUTABLE."
"The theorem is true at various planes."
Take for example London.
London is a small Hungarian village.
Everybody is Hungarian, and if he isn't, then his father or his
grandmother was.
Alexander Korda, Leo Amery, Leslie Howard, George Mikes, André Deutsch.
Queen Mary, granted, wasn't a Hungarian.
But when she received a Hungarian, she was fond of telling him that two
of her grandparents were.
Cheers,
Speranza
