Subject: can what we can't inf. Ув. коллеги, хелп!This article is like an abundance of fresh fruit. Perhaps we should take the advice of the housewife who says, "We shall eat all we can, and then can what we can't". Так что она советует? "Съедим, что сможем, а потом сможем, что не можем"? Есть такое расхожее выражение, или это так, казуально? |

A canner exceedingly canny One morning remarked to his Grannie: A canner can can anything that he can, But a canner can't can a can, can he? Эдвард Лир, по-моему. |
