And you and I are native English speakers (at least I assume your are, Guatam, please correct me if I'm wrong). For those of you who are not native English speakers and may be having trouble sorting out Erik's original: Tangled rope = Knot Smallest prime = two Chivalry practicioner = knight , = , comb for a bee = honey , = , naval affirmative = Aye separate into two equals = halve Canadian interrogative = eh (as in, "It's cold today, eh?") brain holder = head disk or drum minus onomatopoeiac expression of cold = brake minus br = ake Hence what someone else posted earlier, "Knot two knight, honey, Aye halve eh head ake," or, "Not tonight, honey, I have a headache."
