I guess I can't follow all the Klingons, but was it Kruge on the planet?
I thought that Kruge was back on the Bird-Of-Prey?

As to the line ... I kind of think that it is J.T.K.'s reaction to Klingons
in general, and a careerful of abuse from them.  Try to be nice and look what
they do to you!  Try to keep you borders clean and look what they do to you!
Bad guys!  They don't even use Sure.  They like it gross! (foam. flruzzl.)

It's also a sort of a throwback to that wonderful Popeye (tm of someone-or-
other) line:  ``I've had all I can stands -- I can't stands no more!''.
This was where he would stop playing by the book, or by the Golden Rule.
(``do unto others as you would they do unto you'') Instead, the Iron Law in
us all comes out (``do unto others as they would do unto you'').

I rather enjoyed it, being of a nasty mind when it comes to Klingons.
And it let us hear what most of us would like to be able to say from time
to time.
