    "It's gone too far this time", said a peasant, "All this burning and
    taxing and now this. I blame you witches! It's got to stop.
    I know my rights!"
    "What rights are they?", said Granny.
    "Dunnage, cowhage-in-ordinary, badinage,left-overs,scrommidge,
    clary and spunt,"said the peasant promptly.
    "And acornage, every other year, and the right to keep two-thirds of a
    goat on the common. Until he set fire to it. It was a bloody good goat,too."
    "A man could go far, knowing his rights liek you do",said Granny.
    "But right now you should go home."
    From The Chronicles of Pterrius Pratchettus, Vol 3 : "Wyrd Sisters".

    Cheers,
