One of my staffers just returned from a meeting at the Greek embassy very upset. He was supposed to work out the logistics of a trip to southern Greece next month. It seems he was unable to get past the very fit assistant to actually meet with the ambassador. She kept asking him for photo verification, to which he supplied his government issued ID. But it seemed that wasn’t sufficient. It seems they had a failure to communicate.  

I asked him what her name was and knew what the problem was. I had met her at a state dinner a few weeks back. One thing led to another and we had a quickie in a closet. She became quite enamored with me, however I didn’t feel the same and simply ignored her calls. In fact, her last few phone messages were pretty insulting. I guess that will teach me to tup a Greek. 😎

Tup a Greek? Schtup a Greek? What are you talking about?  Or maybe it's better not to talk ... What Athens in Greece, stays in Greece.

It's clear that impposter needs to work on his classical education and brush up his Shakespeare :)

Fromn Othello:

IAGO -- Even now, now, very now, an old black ram
Is tupping your white ewe. Arise, arise,
Awake the snorting citizens with the bell
Or else the devil will make a grandsire of you.

Alas, poor Senator! I knew him, tozer. Oops. Thanks for the reference. Back in high school, a bunch of used to say "Zounds!" and even "Forsooth!" But I don't remember using "tupping" in high school. I think we used schtupping, from non-Shakespearean classics.

But I still don't get the pun, if there was supposed to be one.  
Chicken cacciatore - chicken catch a Tory.

Catharine Parr, Henry’s fifth wife, is up against the wall for her execution, facing a firing line aiming golf clubs.  Sherman naturally asks about her and Mr. Peabody explains.
Sherman: “But the guards are aiming at her with golf clubs?”
Mr. Peabody: “How else would you shoot Parr?”
.
After escaping Robespierre at the start of the Reign of Terror, Mr. Peabody remarks on how the French Revolution could have been prevented.
Mr. Peabody: And think, Marie Antoinette could have avoided the whole revolution if she simply issued an edict to distribute bread to the poor.  But then she couldn’t have her dessert.
Sherman: But why, Mr. Peabody.
Mr. Peabody: Because, Sherman, you can’t have your cake and edict, too.

"Tup a Greek"? Tuppagreek. Tuppakaka (a Swedish cake). Tip a Greek? Tap a Greek? I don't get it!

Unfortunately, I was one of the jocks that made fun of the nerds that said "Zounds" and "Forsooth" in high school.  Its a little late, but I apologize to all.  lol
