Horace has kissed both the Blarney Stone and Caligula's ring.
And other things.
PM me and I'll tell you what.

@Horace The beautifully balanced and downright songlike cadence of your post above, I can only say, makes me sigh in appreciation.

@Klaus A Bob Newhart sketch.
A roomful of monkeys, each sitting at a desk and banging away on a typewriter. Men in white coats wandering the aisles, observing. One of them stops, stares, and cries, "Jim! Jim! Get over here, quick!" The other man joins the first, who points to what the monkey had typed: "To be or not to be, that is the geframenplatz."

Etymology fun fact: The arteries in the neck are called "carotids," from the Greek word "karotides", relating to the word "katotikos" (to stupefy) and "karos" (deep sleep).
The ancient Greeks used it/knew that compression of the carotid arteries would produce unconsciousness.
