I just invented it today.
Ahem. "Have fun. Blame the dice." |

Nice. Are you going to put it on a coat of arms? Maybe with a lion rampant with two tumbling dice falling from his raised paw? |

Google Translate says:
"Iocum habere. reprehendo alea."
Alea iacta est, y'all. |

I'll have to seek out me good friend Hark the Herald for a legit coat of arms. |

Clausewitz said that the best laid plans do not survive the first die rolls. |

"Good generals make their own luck" would be better. That way we can't be just considered some what pathetic gamblers. |

"Pathetic".
There you go again, trying to make friends and influence people. |

years ago I bought a "Larry Leadhead" T-shirt that says something like: Brilliant Strategist – Lousy Dice Roller" |

John, "locum" means "place", not "fun". Apparently the Latin for "fun" is "iocus" or "ludus". Hence jocular, joke and ludicrous ! But one bit of the internet says that the Latin for "fun" is "fun". Is that is someone's idea of a joke ? |

Blame Google Translate. I last took Latin in 1968. |
