Ceaser: Veni, Vidi, Vici... "I came, I saw, I conquered!"
I just posted a nasty note about humor on the ML, but if I combine it with a history lesson, will you forgive me? One of the things US vets brought back from Korea and Vietnam was syphillis. It was the US's first experience with such a virulent form of venereal disease. Some thought that the US's slogan in Vietnam should have been: Veni, V.D., Vici... "I came, I caught, I cankered."
