his brotherinlaw was coming on him like gangbustersLatin Non compos mentis. Whas that mean Non carborundum illegitimi. Back to the mentis whas that mean Think about it. flailing like a schoolgirl in a fight to save her life he interjects My girlfriend taught herself basic Latin on a lark she was curious The only way I could learn Latin and I did was to attend Catholic school But who wants to suffer religious indoctrination An besides I think its illegal for an atheist to go to Catholic school whadaya think I think non compos mentis. Awright mentis  brain  compos a compost heap Shit for brains Not worth composting That’s not bad. Mentally incapable. My girl would have crushed it Shes damn good with wordsbreaks them down to their roots Dazzles me                                                          

Unfortunately more often than notnot that Im trying to feed her words she wouldnt knowlike Im knowingly trying to frustrate her it prompts her to be stern with me  Joe, that word, I believe, has a Greek root. I didnt study Greek. You know that. I know she didnt study Greek but why would I know the word had a Greek root

So I always tell her as playfully as I can  but earnestly So what youre telling me is the word is Greek to you which always cracks me uptoo funny to let pass

She doesnt find it funny

She  no matter how long weve been together she thinks I try to make fun of her shes been made fun of all her life now shes sensitiveso sensitive she sometimes thinks Im making fun of her too I wouldnt  Fucking no

Its funny I tell her Ya gotta laughlaugh at yourself An laughing at yourself you can find their perverse humour Dont take it personally When other people try to goad youlaugh  Theyre thinking theyre gonna get the better of ya Shut em down By laughing at yourself you defray and deflate them  You dull their miserable cruel attacks

Theyre trying to make fun of you to feel better about themselves 

So you steal their laughternot that theyll feel ashamed No But youve disarmed them

Yacansay Thats so clever have it stutter an spill through your laughter An walk away Still laughing     

When someone laughs harder at themselves than others can theyve stolen their fire Theyve fucked them

That’s a mouthful.

Its true

Non carborundum illegitimi.

Cryinoutloud Normally you cant remember shit when youre taken off your train of thought

I didn’t hear a word you said. I was repeating it over and over to myself until I heard you stop to breath.

Not a word

I cant listen to every word you say. I have to parse my attention when you carry on, otherwise I’d burn out.

You do recognise that you usually have something to say, in depth?

If its something I know about otherwise I shaddup listen and try to learn

Non carborundum illegtimi.

Fuck

Awright

Was able to stumble through shit for brains

Howbout illegitimate bad carborundum all lifeforms that we know of are carbon-based Non is non Non-carbon lifeforms are illegitimate Thats all I got

Don’t let the bastards grind you down.

Non carborundum illegitimi  Hmm Seems itd be illegitimi non carborundum  Illegitimi The bastard part first

Might be. But the fact that I could come up with the three Latin words is more than plenty for me. Your girlfriend can correct me.

Ill tell her If you need correcting shell tell me so Ill let you know I wouldnt want you walking around with shit for brains
