   What light through yonder balcony breaks ? Ah, tis Flavio and a broken balcony. My father shall be much pisse’d off.

   Let me guess the new code is not to have ivy going up to a balcony so it is harder for people to climb up and balcony railings break easier in case anyone does scale up the wall. Whose idea was this again?

   Reminds me of an old gag I liked when I was a kid;
   “Romeo, oh Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo?”
   “I’m in the rosebushes, the damn trellis broke!”

   The common misconception about that quote is that Juliet isn’t asking WHERE Romeo is, but WHY he is a Montegue.

   You got that backwards. “Wherefore” means “why.”

    I think that’s what she meant to say, but the way she worded it is ambiguous. “The usual conception of the quote [I am old-fashioned enough to prefer quotation] is incorrect: Juliet isn’t….”

    I understood what you said.

    As a Swedish speaker, that’s not so hard to understand for me (the Swedish word for “why” is actually “varför”.) But I can see how an English speaker could get it wrong.

    “Hello, you have reached the home of Juliet Capulet. She can’t come to the balcony right now, so just leave a message under the rosebush and she’ll get back to you as soon as she can. Thank you.”

    No one ever told the architects in Verona to build wall facings to allow for paramours to climb to upper story windows.
