Brian's Latin Lesson (from Monty Python Sketch) Brian is writing a slogan on a wall, oblivious to the Roman patrol approaching from behind. The slogan is "ROMANES EUNT DOMUS". Centurion: What's this thing? "ROMANES EUNT DOMUS"? "People called Romanes they go the house?" Brian: It... it says "Romans go home". Centurion: No it doesn't. What's Latin for "Roman"? Brian hesitates Centurion: Come on, come on! Brian: (uncertain) "ROMANUS". Centurion: Goes like? Brian: "-ANUS". Centurion: Vocative plural of "-ANUS" is? Brian: "-ANI". Centurion: (takes paintbrush from Brian and paints over) "RO-MA-NI". "EUNT"? What is "EUNT"? Brian: "Go". Centurion: Conjugate the verb "to go"! Brian: "IRE"; "EO", "IS", "IT", "IMUS", "ITIS", "EUNT". Centurion: So "EUNT" is ...? Brian: Third person plural present indicative, "they go". Centurion: But "Romans, go home!" is an order, so you must use the ...? He lifts Brian by his short hairs Brian: The ... imperative. Centurion: Which is? Brian: Um, oh, oh, "I", "I"! Centurion: How many Romans? (pulls harder) Brian: Plural, plural! "ITE". Centurion strikes over "EUNT" and paints "ITE" on the wall Centurion: "I-TE". "DOMUS"? Nominative? "Go home", this is motion towards, isn't it, boy? Brian: (very anxious) Dative? Centurion draws his sword and holds it to Brian's throat Brian: Ahh! No, ablative, ablative, sir. No, the, accusative, accusative, ah, DOMUM, sir. Centurion: Except that "DOMUS" takes the ...? Brian: ... the locative, sir! Centurion: Which is? Brian: "DOMUM". Centurion: (satisfied) "DOMUM"... He strikes out "DOMUS" and writes "DOMUM" Centurian: ..."-MUM". Understand? Brian: Yes sir. Centurion: Now write it down a hundred times. Brian: Yes sir, thank you sir, hail Caesar, sir. Centurion: (saluting) Hail Caesar. If it's not done by sunrise, I'll cut your balls off. Brian: (very relieved) Oh thank you sir, thank you sir, hail Caesar and everything, sir! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted it straight away. Had a really good one the other week on my work email saying that we had been selected to help oversee & supply goods for the rebuilding of Libya. Not sure how long it would take to rebuild Libya via 3D printing & vacuum casting though so I deleted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
