Never mind walking on hind legs.

What would Samuel Johnson say? 'I told him I had been that morning at a meeting of the people called Quakers, where I had heard a woman preach. Johnson: "Sir, a woman's preaching is like a dog's walking on his hind legs. It is not done well; but you are surprised to find it done at all." Boswell: Life' [Pretty much SLYT]

Johnson would say, Sir, consider yourself flagged.

I memailed the mods, hope for fast action in getting rid of this FPP. Sorry, I have no idea what I was thinking. It's too early for me anyhow, my brain doesn't work before 10 am.

Depend upon it, sir, when a man knows his double post is to be deleted in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully.

Aargh. I flagged, it, me-mailed multiple mods. Oh, the atrocity. That'll teach me - avoid forwarded links. From a friend who usually doesn't forward common chain mail :( Just horrible.
