Important Serbian Lesson

Best first line of an IM ever - from our brilliant and fabulous Serbian tutor Vasa: "Something I realized while in the shower last night: it is REALLY HARD to talk about genitals in Serbian" The beauty of this sentence is unparalleled in modern literature, and is now my computer background. I thought I'd share with the rest of you. @cvrc11 @trolljacksparrow
