from Sheila,

Not Latin but CNN and it's attempts to be International.
Lady speaking.
"Yes we have employed some men but we've also
employed an awful lot of women." : )
The question needs to be asked. Are the awful women intended
for the gratification of the nice men, or is the whole staff awful?
Nay, I jest.
What is it about these women that causes everyone to hold them
in awe, or are they, the women, in awe of the men?
It's just too too awful!
Then there's "augers well" which has become "all goes well."
Yet my favourite remains the lady who "opened the door in her
jeans to let her lover in." : )
Alas, I rave.
Reg.
