I was driving the other day and saw a CH sticker on a car in front of me. My passenger wondered what it meant and I said, "Switzerland."
"Switzerland?"
"Yes. Confoederatio Helvetica."
Full disclosure: I had to look up exactly what the CH stood for but I knew it was Switzerland. I didn't really say "Confoederatio Helvetica." That would have been pompous...
But I think it's cool anyway.
A Latin name for a wonderful country. Like the way diplomas (diplomae...?) are written. "Ensis..."
Wonderful.
We should resurrect Latin.
Where's Dan Quayle when we need him...?
Or, as they say, "Latine loqui coactus sum..."
