Extracts of the chronicles of Jean Dion

“For those which did not follow professional hockey between 1997, roughly speaking, and 2004 because it was well too punt or because they were occupied planning then to carry out the challenges of the new millenium, let us specify that the N.Y. Rangers was afflicted, with the length of this period, by a chronic underproduction compared to the collective remuneration of its labor force. However says itself of a club which spends without being spent: it receives in full pear a blow of wage bill. That cannot occur however any more, because of new hockey. History of ceiling, which constitutes a true wall for all the clubs, of which several, if they manage their license badly, visit the floor. ('' the Duty '', April 24th, 2007)

“We know all full people who have a ton of talent and draw some with wonder without really making efforts, or then are beautiful and pognent of balance while the ordinary ones must deploy treasures of imagination for only starting to hope to have the shade of the reflection of a chance to allure, and still to allure other ordinary. This méconception comes from a smoky idea, the greatest fib of the history of the humanity, which wants that all are equal. ” ('' the Duty '', April 26th, 2007)

“" It is well the human one, ça" , the individual by the post office reported. " Its preferred word is “déguédine”. Never content, and in a hurry not the being. You will have noticed that the human one said all the time that he wants to see that before dying. What it does not know, the stupid one, it is that while running without stop, it is exposed to a premature death and decreases by as much its chances to see that. It must be also in a hurry to burst, that would not astonish me by him. Anything in as much as that is done there, là." ” ('' the Duty '', 28- April 29th, 2007)

“the Romans of Antiquity, it should be said, were rather odd. They used letters to make figures, with the confusion which the thing caused. Hold, at the time, there were a television game entitled Of the letters and letters. However, when arrived time to play letters, at the longest word, put that a candidate asked for a consonant and obtained a L. His adversary said “vowel” and obtained an I Then., vowel: I. Inevitably, the participants looked themselves of a flabbergasted air and ended up questioning the organizer: “You are sure that they is not figures, that? ” The organizer answered that not, but it was always a player for, after lawful reflection of VL second, to propose “51”, whereas the other gave “48”. The guy of the 48 said whereas it had used more letters/figures by making IIL than the guy of the 51 with his LI. The guy of the 51 retorted that 51 was certainly higher than 48, than in any event one was playing letters and than IIL is not even a word whereas LI indicates a Chinese route measurement accepted in Scrabble, the guy of the 48 shouted: “And do your sister, Caïus, it know that X they is ten but what TEN they is 509? ” and the battle pognait. ” ('' the Duty '', May 17th, 2007)
