It's amazing, the stuff that accumulates at the back of one's closet. One of the things I found today is a Czech sentence with no vowels whatsoever:
Strč prst skrz krk.
It means Stick your finger through your throat.
Not down your throat, through it.
So how did I learn this vitally important bit of information? I was in France, spending a couple of days with all the exchange students to France before heading off to our respective host families, and I got to meet a girl from Czechoslovakia the Czech Republic. I had heard that there was such a sentence in Czech, so I asked, and she wrote it down for me on a scrap of paper. I saved it, but I'm not sure I could find it again if I needed it (ha!). So I'm writing it here.
Hmm, there must be a lesson here about keeping found things found.

There is no longer any such country as Czechoslovakia. I believe you mean that the girl was from the Czech Republic.

Touché. You are quite correct.
I really should know better, but for some reason I always have to correct myself on that country name. Except, of course, when I don't even remember to correct myself.
