Switzerland

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..."
