Skybox cards: {malja' per} referring to trademarked phrases.

I will try to find the reference to (not verbatim) "after transacting business
Klingons meet for drinks."
And, no. I did not understand many arbitrary usages in Hamlet until I cheated
and looked at the English side. Even then I often wondered how the "experts"
had chosen those constructions.
