One afternoon when I was 10 and reading a Nancy Drew book, I got hung up on ‘Georgia’, ‘Georgian’ and ‘Gregorian’. Sat and spun on that all afternoon. Found my dad and asked him if there was a place called ‘Georgia’. He lo-o-o-o-o-o-ked at me and said "Yes. . . " very slowly (we lived one state over). I brightened up considerably. I really should have explained that episode to him. ---

Hemmoroid. A robot with a big block engine for power. Diarrhea. Always thought that should be the name of a flower. “Look how beautiful the roses and carnations are and the diarrheas are georgous.” Snort. Try to say it fast 5 times in a row. ---
