Don't know yet. It could be something that appeals only to lefty history teachers.

Karl Friedrich Clement sounds too much like fried chicken.

Good news for you, Bunbury!

For whom might it be bad news, i.e. who's employing you?

Good for you.

But Mrs. B. would like to warn you not to expect to be actually paid.

Aha! I knew quite a few Iñigos when I taught English in a Basque school. I've not yet met an Inigo, though.

South of the border, but only just.

Missed opportunity - they could have gone for Inigo Montoya.

Wouldn't that put the father at risk?

Possibly, but there aren't many men with six fingers on their right hand. I'd say the odds are pretty low.

Our father who art in heaven,
Heaven be your name
You who killed my father
Prepare to die
On earth, as it is in heaven
Give me my father back
You son of a bitch
As I run you through
Avenging my father

I've just been told we're taking the scenic route home tonight.

OK, it was more a request than an order, but it was always unlikely I'd say 'no'.
