Once again AWADtalk shows its vitalilty by morphing a thread into something quite different and equally delightful.

When I first started learning German in 9th grade, we were taught the proverb, Wer A sagt muss auch B sagen -- Whoever says A must also say B. This was translated, In for a penny, in for a pound, which was singularly unhelpful if you didn't know about English money. I always thought it was a very cryptic expression.
