Send me some samples! I'm especially fond of the special blend of eleven herbs and
spices and neuroleptic seasonings!

Ah, but since it was my dog that caused me awaken (and we know about dog spelled
backwards) I would be suspicious of divine or even Okrandian inspiration. Especially
when you consider that I used the wrong verbal prefix twice (it should be
<<jIQongtaHvIS>> and <<jIchechDI'>>). As for the use of <<not>> at the end, I have to
possible explanations: 1) in my altered state of consciousness I decided to treat
<<not>> like <<neH>> and put it at the end, or 2) invoke poetic license and tread water
quickly.

If I'm receiving alien messages in my sleep, at least they don't come empty handed.
Perhaps THIS is why humans aren't supposed to drink Romulan ale? Go figure indeed!
Other people meet Kahless in their dreams, I meet the Klingon Dilbert!
