So a senator in Late Republican Rome is running late for the day’s session of the senate. He comes into the senate chamber about 15 minutes late, and Cicero is out the front giving a speech. The senator quietly sits down next to one of his friends, and asks “Have I missed much? What’s he talking about?” To which his friend replies:”I haven’t got a clue, he hasn’t even gotten to the verb yet.”
BOOM goes the dynamite
