Veni, vidi, vici ...
I Came, I Saw, I Conquered
by Tom Horonzy
I went to see and conquer, believing women were the weaker sex. I should have known better, being the only male heir in a count of six kids. I got the hay knocked out of me for the better of eighteen years, never winning a skirmish, let alone a battle.
Therefore, I concluded if Caesar "came, saw and conquered," which he did, his opposition had to be men.
So, when asked, "how come you fell short while possessing superior strength," I answered that the opposition's assets were more than I could handle.
They wore a different cut of cloth, bearing style and grace, which caused me to become distracted from my plan to divide and conquer, so I tripped and fell on my face turning beet red. After considering my options, I decided it was best to surrender to a swarm of sparingly clothed females to do as they pleased.
