I got the following by e-mail but can only guess at what it means: Ego sum matrimonium , proinde ego imbibo. The latin word Ego can probably be dropped and the latin phrase could read Sum matrimonium, proinde imbibo.

I am marriage, consequently I imbibe.
I think it might have been an attempt at "I got married, therefore I drink."

The automatic translater gives: I to be marriage , consequently I imbibe.zmjezhd will know better,this is still a rather spooky sentence. Good day,  zmjezhd. Right the person is going to be (or got) married, therefore he (or she) needs a stif drink.

 JFTR, my reply (after reading the above, thanks) was: "Ahem. And your point?" (The message came from my brother-in-law.)
