When I tried to convince the Southerners to abolish slavery and not take on the North, they damn near lynched me.
When I tried to persuade the Athenians not to embark on the Expedition to Syracuse, they thought I was a Spartan agent. Had Aspasia not hidden me in a very large amphora... (She agreed with me, by the way. I'm still in love with her!)
When I tried to explain the germ theory to Elizabeth I, she thought I was a witch and damn near locked me in The Tower.
All was not lost, however.
I did manage to persuade Isabella to sell her jewels and send Columbus to India (an ounce of inaccuracy is worth a pound of explanation).
And I did help Cleopatra get over Caesar. (Ooooo was she good to me.....!)
You got yourself a Hindsight Device?
No $hit?
(i know...take Exlax.}
What model you using; the new *20.20*, or one of the older, outa focus models?
This guy & his *insight*?
He's gonna be real shocked to learn just how many experts are converging at this very instant to have themselves a field day.
LOL! I would ask you for a loaner but I think the tin foil from my hat would interfere with the tranmogrifier and it would not work.
RTFM!!! When you're finished your mission in the past, you don't come back to point in future where you would have been if you never left. You come back to the point where you left!!! (Some of the older Westinghouse models had a bug that brought you back before you left, but if you don't run into yourself leaving you don't have one of those.) Got it? So go finish you mission and when you're done you can lend your time machine to Smolensk right now.
Bring me back some Creme Brule', porfavor.
