DaH <KGT> vIlaD.  latlh mu' qIDmey law' lutu'lu'.  wa' yIqel,

= Just now I was reading KGT.  One may find many puns.  For 
example, when Klingons describe Terran root beer, they use the
Klingon word <'awje'>.  If you break this word up, you get
"A", "W", and <je> (which means "and").  i.e. "A & W".

["A & W" is a brand of root beer.]
