Dan,

Excellent, very funny and timely, too, for another reason.

Your line, "first steal two eggs " is relevant since the Travellers, Irish Gypsies, or Romani? have been scamming people downtown Philadelphia and in the suburbs recently out of lots of money and disappearing without doing any of the work they said they would do.

I figured I'd write you in your family tongue -- Hungarian. I can't recall what it means but something like Hungarians Rule!

I wasn't sure I could make a serious comment due to my difficulty in ceasing laughing. Thanks for separating out the real issue with the pressure being applied by these mega donors on the University of Pennsylvania.

OK, I give up. What does this mean? (The second and third sentences, not the first.) Remember, I only had two years of nursery school.
