Warp Factor Zero
Sure would love to learn to speak Klingon, so if I were ever called as a material witness in a court case, I could place my right hand on the Bible, and when asked to speak "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth," I could respond in high Klingon
"GhIj qeT jag'hmeyjaj!"
Which, of course, means "May your enemies run from you in fear."
Klingons freakin' rock. Especially in court.

"GhIj qeT jag'hmeyjaj!" ?!?
I think you mean:
bIghIjmo' Haw'jaj jaghpu'lI'
bIghIjmo':
bIghIjmo': you because of/ scare (v)
Haw'jaj: may/ flee, get out (v)
jaghpu'lI':
jaghpu'lI': your / (pl) / enemy (n)
And you can wear your red crew shirt. (Is that the color of the expendable crewman, or no?)
The guy in the red crew shirt always gets it.
And Scott, I think I will try that little Klingon trick when I go in for jury duty next week. Maybe that'll get me out of it
Oh, my, it goes even further. Check it out: http://www.parapundit.com/archives/001240.html
The article on that link so totally doesn't surprise me.
But it does remind me of an episode where Worf and (who was his chick...the worm/parasite host? neway, her...) were talking in Klingon. In all seriousness, I looked over to Eric and said, "Shah, her accent totally sounds fake."
As if there's an AUTHENTIC klingon accent. Whatthe... It's ALL freakin' fake!!!
Grrr...
That stupid story about the "Klingon translator" story is long since retracted.
See:
http://www.snopes.com/humor/iftrue/klingon.asp
Claim: An Oregon county health services department hired a Klingon interpreter to assist psychiatric patients who would speak no other language.
Status: False.
*AND* "It's ALL freakin' fake!!!" ?!?
No. tlhIngan Hol is a real* language - and there are good and bad accents. Visit the Klingon Language Institute: http://www.kli.org and see "the sounds of Klingon" http://www.kli.org/tlh/sounds.html and http://www.kli.org/tlh/phrases.html
*Yes, it is an invented language, but it is a real language; just like Disneyland IS a real place; just because it is "made up" doesn't mean it isn't real.
