“It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.” Well, perhaps, if lacking in sound and fury, I agree it is a tale told by an idiot…ignifying nothing… But I thought it might be of interest to or amuse some of my CoinTalk friends.

I think I managed to screw this post up. Tried to edit, but it does not come out satisfactorily. Will try to repost, but I apologize if this results in multiple attempts. See it really is a tale told by an idiot.
OK, here is the original!

My wife often quotes extensively from Shakespeare - this among them - I am amazed at how much her mind holds. I can at least keep up with her in Homer and Vergil (we studied the same things), but I am woefully behind in Shakespeare.
