Enough wall???????????????????????????????????????????
In the UK there was a common expression -especially in the miltant union days of the late 70's - used by many to 'authority' figures that went (like traffic wardens, officious public servants etc etc)
"Come the revolution, mate, you will be first up against the wall" (to be shot)
this has always left me with the worry that - come the revolution - will we have enough wall? (considering how many people will need to be put up against it)
Jokes (for that was what my comment was) kinda lose any potential funniness though once they have to be explained in such detail
Thank you wise one.
And I will quote that other well known expresson, "You learn something new everyday!"
