What Are These?

A bit of Latin humour to start off your day...

One of my contacts on Facebook posted this joke:
Did you hear about the Roman centurion who went into a bar and ordered a Martinus? The bartender said,"You mean a martini" and the centurion said, "If I wanted two I would have asked for them!"

To which I replied:
I knew there was a reason for me to pursue a Classical education. All those Great Books courses and Latin paid off in the end. :)

I suck at telling jokes, but I dearly appreciate them. Especially Latin ones. :) Okay, off to work I go!
