canis Celerem audit et latrat.
Celer listens to the dog in the toilet.
:D

"'Felices ambo' means 'They are both happy'. It does NOT mean 'I shall love cats'!"

On a similar note, my cousin (who did eight weeks of Latin in our Year 7, which is roughly first year of Junior High in the States) remembers absolutely nothing from it apart from the one sentence "canis in via dormit". He always wondered why the dog was weeing on the doormat...
