But some of them do have enough time to make really good looking uniforms
and foreheads. You can learn klingon WHILE you work and play. You can't
make a uniform WHILE doing something else.

I have two jobs, I'm married, have kid(s), and other hobbies. But I must
admit, I don't spend any time at the bar getting drunk.
... and I have a good uniform.

What was the title of that class I gave at Dover last year?...
"Klingon; for those that don't want to learn Klingon."
I love Qov's article a couple HolQeD ago. If you speak in third-person,
klingon can be quite simple. Pick a verb. Pick a noun. Put them together.
