>>Who is the speaker?
>>An undernourished alien who has come to earth looking for a job as a jockey?
No, it was somebody who had not yet created Adam and Eve, or anything living on earth that might respond to a "lets all" exhortation.
See, I'm as stubborn as you. ;-)
>>You'll be pleased to know that after having broken my toe in a silly fall last week I went to my toenail clipper and was happy to learn that he can actually do things that MD's are expected to do. Actually, he did a wonderful job and I'll stop haranguing him about toenail clipping.
Glad. Actually in my day we thought there wasn't a heck of a lot you could do for most sorts of broken toe. Had one myself. Hurts more than you'd expect from such a tiny little bone, right? ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
