Consulte deverto

So your motto is........? enquired Pliny.

My motto is, none of the above, I replied.

That's quite good, said Pliny, contemplatively scratching his nose.

No, not 'none of the above', I said scathingly.

What then? he asked, looking startled.

Consulte deverto, I said proudly.

You turn away deliberately? choked Pliny

No, not diverto, DEVERTO, I diverge, or digress.

Deliberately?

On purpose.

That suits you.

I know.
