No, but the supposed meaning when said seriously is obvious, which is why it should only be said when you're serious.

Or he could just be leaving for a few days.  Or weeks.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
-J. R. R. Tolkien

He's said that before. :huh:

Most likely he is.  Still not funny, and very tired by now.

 Anything mongers says is funny and endearing, provided you imagine it in his voice.

He is a living national treasure, and his existence is its own justification.

And Excerpt from the life of Raz:

"Woah!  I hit that one real far, they ain't never going to get that one back"

"That's good Raz, but we're playing miniature golf."

"What's your point?"
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
