[Lt Major Burns]

why?

 

[reed]

"put up your swords or the dew will rust them"

 

[lbj]

swords don't kill people, people kill people.

 

[Rhisiart]

"put up your swords or the dew will rust them"

Reference?

Tango out.

 

[pds]

apparently Othello

although the reference seems ambiguous - pro or con? I read (past tense) it as con (in pro the new law) but the actual quote seems to indicate that letting dew rust the sword would be a bad idea.

 

[Rhisiart]

Thanks. I should have worked than one out.

 

[reed]

Indeed. Othello. William Shakespeare. It concerns a confrontation. Nothing more. The sword is in your camp.
Yago, your servant

 

[middigit]

No - i need mine to slice of limbs of happless robbers that would dare enter my house

Othello I take it is a typical Irishman, worried about getting his offensive weaponry wet.

Or didn't Shakespeare mean it as a metaphor?

btw Which part of Popeye never gets rusty?

Just a thought. What will the Scots do during the Highland gatherings? Sword Dancing is very important. Use sticks?
