My Fiance tried teaching me "F' you and the horse you road in on." I never did remeber it.

Yeah, also taking Latin will make you appreciate the humor in that scene in the Life of Brian where Eric Idol is trying to write "Romans go home!" on the barracks wall.
Now that I think about it, it was Graham Chapman in that scene.

My Mom taught me two years of Latin in high school and all I remember is:
Duc, duc, remus duc, flumine secundo,
vivide, vivide, vivide, vivide, velut in somnino.
Row, Row Row your boat!
Well I do remember other stuff but that was the greatest.
Thanks, Mom.

I liked the "Romans go home" bit. The latin lesson.
