..Kids had less to think about, Juan. We've been through this before.

My, we seem to have an acute case of glossalitis lately, don't we ASp? I'd have that checked out if I were you!

#18 Veto. Un corse la finira translates from the Italian as...

Hey Veto, Why day keepa onna da fighta inna da France?

Then Italian translated and rearranged to English gives us the answer...

A révolution is France.

Simple huh?

re;What I don't get, Milum, is why you spell humor humour.

it could be an affectation, or just because he is in the spirit of the anagrams, or maybe, just i spell grey (correctly, our friends of pond pointed out) and not gray -- (and actually i use both) it might just be something Mr.M does just because he does.

Mind you, i think spelling is hard enough with out extra letters, and would be pleased with fewer, not more letters, 'nuf said!

I spell humor humour anna in order to suck up to the British. It might come in handy. There's a move afoot to make England the 51st state.

Moving right along...

O POISON PITT

is a rather recent construction. The answer is...

POT IS OPTION

( Note the poor use of articles)

Point is: comical trade does not equal: "a calm creditor" since there's one too many "r's" in "a calm creditor," as was pointed out above.

However, the little-known trade:

lamioccarted

would be a solution, but this particular comical trade is so little-known, that it ain't in a single dictionary.

So, back to the drawing board...

not when you are in the
Top Position ! (wasn't one the Pitt's a PM then?)

Of course they didn't have Wiley Willie's option of not inhaling, back then! but i think the drug of choice then was opium.
