Celery.
I doubt anyone could eat enough of it to get fat.

Never had it like that but celery and cheese is yum.

... thus with imagined wing our swift scene flies, in motion of no less celery......... wait a minute... that's CELERITY......

.. imagine you have seen the well-appointed king..

Scene change in Henry V by Shakespeare....

Thus with imagined wing our swift scene flies
In motion of no less celerity
Than that of thought. Suppose that you have seen
The well-appointed king at Hampton pier
Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet
With silken streamers the young Phoebus fanning:
Play with your fancies, and in them behold
Upon the hempen tackle ship-boys climbing;
Hear the shrill whistle which doth order give
To sounds confused; behold the threaden sails,
Borne with the invisible and creeping wind,
Draw the huge bottoms through the furrow'd sea,
Breasting the lofty surge: O, do but think
You stand upon the ravage and behold
A city on the inconstant billows dancing;
For so appears this fleet majestical,
Holding due course to Harfleur. Follow, follow:
Grapple your minds to sternage of this navy,
And leave your England, as dead midnight still,
Guarded with grandsires, babies and old women,
Either past or not arrived to pith and puissance;
For who is he, whose chin is but enrich'd
With one appearing hair, that will not follow
These cull'd and choice-drawn cavaliers to France?
Work, work your thoughts, and therein see a siege;
Behold the ordnance on their carriages,
With fatal mouths gaping on girded Harfleur.
Suppose the ambassador from the French comes back;
Tells Harry that the king doth offer him
Katharine his daughter, and with her, to dowry,
Some petty and unprofitable dukedoms.
The offer likes not: and the nimble gunner
With linstock now the devilish cannon touches,

Talk about a fast transit and straight into battle.....  never jump without a loaded weapon ready to fight.....

The dumbest question:

"Can I ask you a question?"

Absolutely, they should say "may I ask you a question."

You are in fact correct but one should be polite in asking.

Raven wrote on Feb 25^th, 2017 at 11:15pm:


You didn't ask permission to ask your question, it should be can I ask you a question first in response to can I ask you a question however in both cases as pointed out you already have so the correction should be can I ask you 2 questions on both occasions.

I would assume that you want to know the question before you answer to allow an educated negative reply to the original question of can I ask 2 questions.
