grab capitalism by the balls

(as a pun/ variation on the Ford F-150 commercial punch line 'grab life by the horns'): one of the many possible English translations of the Latin phrase carpe diem.
as to who may have first used the expression grab capitalism by the balls to translate the Latin phrase carpe diem, I would probably have to say it would have been the 'founders' of modern WASP capitalism, people like John Locke or Thomas Hobbes.

Capital numbers

A capital number= A number at the beginning of a series of numbers, example 57885557 the 5 would be the capital number. Only 1 through 9 may be capital numbers, except for proper numbers (0, 11, 12 ). Proper numbers are capital numbers as well (except at the beginning of a series of numbers) Example 115663 a 1 is the capital number not 11.
You dot your capital numbers or proper numbers, decimals are also capitals and should be dotted. Dot on the top for reading right to left, on the bottom for reading left to right. Capital numbers are also the hours on a clock, they are capitals because they represent more than one number, for example 1am is also 1pm. Always leave a decimal beside solitary capital numbers, always dot your decimals and always check your time.
I always capitalize my capital numbers and leave a decimal behind solitary ones.
