Quoting Pablo Manalastas ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): > This looks like "if (heart) then honk". > Did I get it right?
Supposed to suggest "Honk if you love FORTH." There are some very silly bumper stickers that follow the pattern of "Honk of you love [item]", where the word "love" is conveyed by a heart symbol. That .signature block is intended as a parody. > Isn't honking (blowing your car horn) frowned at in the U.S.? Frequently, and with allusions to biology and theology, yes. In truth, it depends on which subculture you're among at that particular moment, and where you are. My wife is (by ancestry) Irish/Swedish, and I'm Norwegian, so we follow the Northern European stereotype of hardly ever using the horn. People in some big cities, especially those along the U.S. East Coast, and some other ethnic groups, seem to live their entire lives with the car horn running. True story: My father, who was born in Kristiansund on the west coast of Norway, spent WWII as a fighter pilot for the USA Army Air Corps (now called the Air Force), on the Italian front. After the war, when he married my mother and they were living in Europe, they were able to visit Rome, by car. To my mother's amazement, she found out that her husband not only spoke fluent and often profane Italian, but also could argue his way through Italian traffic, complete with obligatory arm gestures, as well as any native-born resident. -- Cheers, "We're sorry; you have reached an imaginary number.
