Well, I am making an assumption that, as an English person, you're a 
steward of the language. <G>

You know, I did that once, tripped and accidentally landed in 100,000 BC. 
The disturbed butterfly distracted a Neaterthal's attention just long enough 
to be clubbed senseless by a Cro-Magnon who'd just appeared on the scene and 
was about to be tied into a giant pretzel by the big guy.

Didn't tell anyone when I got back.
