This came by today; I thought it tied in nicely with the recent
discussions about words.

ps: This reminds of the guy who had trouble with cobras in the
kitchen and wanted to deal with them. He wrote, to the
exotic animals store:  

Please send me two mongooses.

Then, he thought better of it, and wrote:

Please send me two mongeese. 

This was no better, so he wrote: 

Please send me a mongoose. Make it two.
