Sunday Cryptoquote Spoiler – 03/07/10

“There are three persons you should never deceive:  your physician, your confessor, and your lawyer.”   — (Robert) Walpole

(OK.  Robert was the more famous of the two Walpoles, the other being his son, Horace.  But, the son is widely quoted as well.  Going with the stand alone name, a la Aristotle, Socrates, Sophocles, etc. seems to me, designed to be misleading, in this instance.) —   YUR
