Is this a hint?

So, a few Christmases ago, my cousin gave various people, including me, star sign mugs. I'm sure you can imagine the kind of thing: an image of their star sign, and a list of the attributes that the start sign is said to confer. Having read my mug, I got the feeling that it wasn't manufactured by native speakers of English. My cousin swears she wan't trying to make a point -- that she hadn't actually read the actual attributes associated with Saggitarians. Honest. Optimistic. Enthusiastic. Good humoured. Intellectual. Jovial. And tactless.

Hmmm....
