Would love to learn Klingon Sep 25, 2010

I once was in a long line at a bookstore, with a Klingon grammar, dictionary, and teach-yourself textbook (with audiocassette) in my arms. I was only two people away from the cash register when I repented and took them all back. Part of me still regrets that!
