Smudge,
Iuguolo non vestri canis ut rid is of muris. Construe, Danny !
Now you've put me on my mettle (no Latin dictionary to hand). Never mind, have a go -
Iuguolo - Jugulo - Jugular - Throat?- Muzzle?
non vestri canis - (of) not your dog- (easy bit).
ut rid is of - (plain English) - muris - mus, muris - mouse.
(Laboravit mons, parturit ridiculus mus - The mountain has laboured, and brought forth a mouse) (A propos of nothing at all - just chucked it in as a makeweight !)
Come to think of it, we weren't much troubled by any more appearances of mice after that incident - although there was ample evidence of infestation.
Yet must beware of the Post Hoc fallacy (all this "Dog Latin" - sorry, could't resist that !)
Is there no end to the man's accomplishments ? (Mods will lower the boom on this as sure as God made little apples !)
Cheers, Danny.
