I am a Portuguese

More from The Proceedings of the Old Bailey, London 1674 to 1834:
Q. Do you know Mr. Talbot?

Roderie. I do not understand English.

Q. Do you know Mr. Talbot?

Roderie. If I see him I know him.

Q. What is his christian name?

Roderie. I do not know no more than Mr. Talbot; I am a Portuguese.

Q. Do you know whether Mr. Talbot is a Popish bishop or not?

Roderie. I do not know.

Council for the crown. My lord, we despair of being able to make out the charge against the defendant.

Acquitted .

I think I should try that answer some time: "I do not know; I am a Portuguese."

Two things I need: 1) Environmentally sound vehicle with sporty looks but able to go camping at the drop of a tent pole; 2)Google to allow the strike tag back into their profile box. Do nothing evil, eh, Google? That's pretty damn evil.
