   Hi, Ardith Hinton!   
   I read your message from 02.12.2016 16:16   
      
    AH>>  he also said he was going to build a wall between the US &   
    AH>>  Canada (and make the Canadians pay for it).  One Canadian   
    AH>>  suggested we build a wall around Trump & make him pay for it   
    AH>>  ....  :-Q   
      
    ak>>  There are so many ways to overcome any wall that I doubt   
    ak>>  that there is any sense to build them at all.   
      
    AH>            Yes, anyone who was determined enough could probably find a   
   way.   
      
    AH>            I don't usually comment on politics... but I can't help   
    AH> wondering, re the US/Canada idea, if he understands the geography or has   
    AH> done the math.  :-))   
      
   They say that all politicians always tell lies when they give promises in   
   their election campaigns. Common people are like just foolish fishes for a   
   fisherman.   
      
    ak>>  Beside tunnels, too, I see little problems.   
    AH>        |Besides tunnels [...] little problem.   
    AH>        |Besides tunnels [...] few problems.   
      
   Ouch! I forgot the rule! "Little" is for uncountable nouns, "few" for   
   coubtable ones.   
      
   A cow gave little milk.   
      
    ak>>  You lean a 5m ladder against the wall and from the upper   
    ak>>  step you drop a rope ladder on the other side. Then your   
    ak>>  accomplice remove the ladder.   
    AH>                   |removes   
      
      
    AH>            I heard of a guy who impaled himself on a tree while   
    AH> attempting to do something like that, though.  He just wanted to avoid   
    AH> paying for a ticket.  ;-)   
      
   I wonder how a person cam impale himself on a tree? It is not a stake. :)   
      
   Bye, Ardith!
