How can one nearly have syphilis?! 
What to do if my opponent does silly mowe ?
Sort:
be suspicious...
Ah, I'm afraid you'll have to read the book to find out... 
Okay, actually her mom had had it and so she had to have these painful hip injections all throughout her pregnancy to insure that her daughter wouldn't get it. And even though she did so and it was successful, Mo was apparently always worried (once she found out all about it) that she'd end up having it passed on to her anyway...

Famous author Dorothy Parker provides us with the definitive answer to this weighty syphilis question, which I now summarize below.
A man, on entering the waiting room of a veterinarian's office with his sick dog, sat next to a lady with a beautiful wolfhound. The wolfhound was extremely high-spirited and happily gamboled around the waiting room, as the man's own dog lay limply on the floor. Finally, curious as to why such an impressive dog should be in a veterinarian's office, he turned to the lady and said:
"You certainly have a beautiful dog."
"Oh, thank you," she replied.
"He looks so healthy," said he, "What could possibly be wrong with him?"
"Oh," she said with some embarrasment, "he has syphilis."
"Syphilis!" he said. "How can such a thing have happened?"
"Well," she said, "he says he got it from a tree..."

Thanks for revealing the solution. It all makes sense now.
And LOL @ Dorothy Parker and her dog story.
just wing it...follow basic opening principles and you should be fine.
If you were blak andyour opponents first move is a4 your mowe ?
And guys that was an example b3 i forgot it was lansers attack. I get white openings like f4 , g4 and other
After 1.a4 play normal developing moves like ...e5 and ...d5 followed by some kind of a reasonable setup where you put a Knight on f6 etc. If White advances the pawn to a5, be prepared to respond with ...a6. Don't play ...b6 because it makes White's first move look better than it is.
Be careful after 1.g4 because 1...d5 2.Bg2 Bxg4 can get you into trouble after 3.c4. Notice that the square at b7 can be vulnerable. Instead try 1...d5 2.Bg2 c6, or simply play 1...e5. Don't bring your Knight to f6 but move it to e7 at the right moment.
Against 1.f4 or 1.b3 or 1.Nf3 followed by 2.b3 you might consider a King's Indian or Grunfeld setup for Black. Playing ...d5 and ...e6 seems to make it easy for White in those lines.
