The Aeneid? How unfortunate. Well, the movie Underworld was based loosely on the exploits of my dad. How would your insufferably long, battle weary, Virgil conceived Dad feel if he got slayed by a vampire that happened to be my dad? I would guess that he would feel terrible.
Good Lord, that sentence was almost--almost--as unwieldy as the movie Underworld itself. Fortunately for all of us, my Dad is William Strunk, Jr., who wrote the classic "Elements of Style." How would your dad feel, realizing that his scriptwriters didn't know how to omit needless words? I guess that he would feel terrible.
