A masterpiece . . .

Posted on Posted in Blog

Speaking for myself, I truly enjoyed our meeting today: it was a masterpiece.

Honorable mention goes as follows, and not in any order of importance, or due to the prominent ranking of the person that came up with it, although I will admit it’s always hard, if not impossible, to beat Serenísimo:

(These are simply in the order they came to mind. If I have wrongly attributed anything or made it up, I apologize.)

To:

  • Kodjo, for telling us that “fly” is pronounced “mouche,” in French. (Duh)
  • Rolando, for telling him that “mush” or “mush-it” is what we do with them here.
  • To me, for informing that “musca domestica” is the scientific name of the common house fly.
  • Guillermo for stating he thought it was “mosco.”
  • Francisco for surmising that the word “musca” logically comes from Múzquiz, or perhaps the other way around? (The matter will come up for a vote next time.)
  • Rolando for raising his hand and objecting—naturally.
  • Gustavo for, in due course (and diplomatically), changing the subject by mentioning that “mosquito” is the diminutive of “mosco” and that in the Spanish speaking world, the word zancudo is used, because of its long legs or “zancos.”
  • Guillermo, again, for leaving us all speechless with his theory on the speed of a fly-in-flight approaching the speed of light and ergo, disappearing.
  • Rolando, once more, for objecting—naturally.
  • A common solitary fly, for appearing on Rolando’s cup! —not only lending credence to Guillermo’s theory of flies materializing out of thin air, but impressing us all.
  • Jim, for making good use of his background in English, and knowing better than to enter into a technical discussion at this level. That said, however, I think he learned something from it.
