Natlangs? Let's see... I only know the romance languages well enough to do this without reaching for the dictionary, so here goes: Italian: Se mi chiami ancora pazzo, ti mangerò l'occhio altro. French: Si tu m'appelles fou encore, je te mangerai l'autre oeil. Spanish: Si me llamas loco otra vez, te comeré el ojo otro. Portuguese: Se você me chama demente de novo, o comerei o outro olho de você. Correct me if I'm wrong, by the way. I'm not so sure of the grammar in the second clause of the Spanish example. ---------------------------------- La plus belle fois qu'on m'a dit "je t'aime" c'était un mec qui me l'a dit...
