A friend of mine, who shall remain nameless as one day he hopes to be a respected lawyer, came out with the following (during a conversation about latin phrases used in law):
“assuming polar bear poo freezes, so decomposition is very slow, if the ice melts due to global warming, will we get flooded with water AND poo?”
Just how do you get to that from “malum aut est malum in se, aut prohibitum”??
