On the train from Bristol:
Bloke in a nice coat who reminded me of my friend Eivind: Veni vidi vici
Pretty girl: E tu, Brute?
Ugly man: Anno domini
Pretty girl: No, no, that's only two words, too easy.
Me: What's the game, to say things in latin?
Pretty girl: Yes, but it has got to be longer than two words
Me: Quo usque tandem abutere patientia nostra, Catilina?
Pretty girl: That's not fair, you speak latin.
Me: Nope, I only know that sentence. Means "why are you wasting our patience, Catilina?"
Pretty girl: Cool. You win.
I mean, how often do you get to a) show off like that in front of pretty girls and b) actually use knowledge like that when you aren't on QI?
