You are, of course, quite right--a fact that I realized after the message had been posted. It's been my experience that if one leaves a partially-written post to check out a fact, when one returns the message slate is blank. I've only recently started copying the message before going wandering, and it's a lesson still imperfectly remembered.
Fames Optum Condimentum is an admonition I learned while single-parenting: "Hunger is the best spice".

It has nothing to do with illegal aliens, but rather with those of illegitimate birth.My ppersonal favorite pseudo-latinism is Illegitimi non carborundum est, which I am told means don't let the illegal aliens grind you down, tho I can't parse it that way.
Here's an article from Wikipedia about it.

"Ah, I see," said the blind carpenter as he picked up his hammer and saw.But, slava, though retired, I am yet a pastor at heart and don't use those words in public.
How's about using a different "b" word? Say, perhaps, bankers?

I hope you get good rates.But some of my best friends are bankers, so how about another synonym? Politicians.
I was, of course, going for the b word, so how's about adding a qualifier? Wall Street Bankers.
