Note to any who don't remember: The "good Jovi" comment is a call back.
(Full story, skip if you remember it, when we were still dating my husband turned to me one time and said, "Do you know that Bon Jovi is French for good Jovi?" I laughed so hard I nearly wet my pants and to this day I cannot tell that joke without cracking myself up. It's Pavlovian at this point. Also - I'm convinced that my laughing at ALL of my husbands dumb jokes is why he married me. Also - almost none of my husband's dumb jokes are puns. Question - is the good Jovi joke a pun? I think it isn't, but opinions may differ.)
Not a pun. Straight translation. Still not sure what Jovi is . . .Quote:

For the rest of our time here I shall be referred to as "Clem Jove".Quote:

Possible grey market item. Nothing wrong with that unless you’re an authorized dealer or the manufacturer trying to manipulate the selling price.Quote:

The electronics prices were like half compared to the UK prices. Import/Exporter started taking advance of that. The college text book market is any other areas.Quote:
