    Hemp can be used as a “mop crop”(crop grown to make mops) to clear impurities out of wastewater, such as sewage effluent, excessive phosphorus from chicken litter, or other unwanted substances or chemicals. Eco-technologist Dr. Keith Bolton from Southern Cross University in Lismore, New South Wales, Australia, is a leading researcher in this area. Hemp is being used to clean contaminants at Chernobyl nuclear disaster site…….or………
    Hemp Seed contains a large dietary supplement of omega-3, higher even than walnuts which contain 6.3% of n-3. These oils are known to improve memory and strengthen brain cells._______pep seeds trains spells and lengthen known members :lol: Mae West in her later years; footage of Liberace interview on Parkinson.

    Thank-You and your student helpers on the guick reply concerning the gravatar… Cool, if I worked it right…. O.K. Here’s a joke; I read that it was one of Jim Morrison’s favorites…. What is the difference between a smart midget and venereal disease? Give Up? A Clue… One is a Cunning Runt. Sorry if someone doesn’t get it (it’s perhaps better that way) but the Answer is not fit to print more than i done already. Have A Nice Day! Love Always

    I think one of the original Spoonerisms still makes me grin…

    “May I sew you to your sheets?”
    instead of
    “May I show you to your seats?”

    HotForWords,

    My spoonerism goes like your cunning stunt.

    It goes:

    The is a children’s book written in spoonerisms called “The Runny Babbit” or something like that.

  6. resol29 says:

    One I’ve always found funny is the spoonerism for
    “A Tale of Two Cities” which becomes “A Sale of Two… ”
    you figure it out.

  8. swampwiz says:

    So Марина, what explains the use of the term “spooning” for sexual coitus in the side supported, rear entry format?

  9. lividemerald says:

    My ex-wife once got confused trying to say “sourpuss.” Instead, she said “sore pus.” That’s probably not a spoonerism, but it really cracked me up at the time.

  10. lividemerald says:

    Back in the 1980s, John Wathan, former catcher and manager for the Kansas City Royals, lived in Deer Run, an upscale community in Blue Springs, Missouri. My wife once got confused and called it Rear Dung.

  11. misterc says:

    Don’t know if this is true Spoonerism. But, my brother had one – “Bushy eyed and bright tailed”. (Bright eyed and bushy tailed.)

    :grin:

  12. shawnmnorris says:

    My Grandmother (that died and that we used to call Nanny and still do), when she first was introduced to my niece and nephew (that are actually called Josh and Molly) called them Mosh and Jolly because she was getting very old and senile, but also because she always was very loquacious, yet always had a great sense of humor in everything.

    In the game City of Heroes/City of Villains there is a city area called “Port Oakes” Well, while the Fan-based Cape Radio DJs were making some in game commericals for an in game party they were hosting in Port Oakes, DJ Attercap accidentally said “Pork Oats” so they ended up putting that in the commericial, saying the event was brought to you by “New Port Oakes Pork Oats” :P

  14. wizky says:

    Origin of the word ‘Erect’ or ‘Erection’ please? :)

  15. sniperskaya says:

    OOPS! Almost forgot to turn in my homework! How about “Queer Fish” instead of “Fear Quiche”? Or “Waterfords” instead of “HotForWords” ?

  16. sniperskaya says:

    Marina, do you have the story of Cinderella in Russia? if you want a stunny forry spull of Foonerisms, try this one:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaSMqttJSZQ
    I guess if two people sleep like spoons then one of them doesn’t have to worry about getting forked?

  17. waterseven says:

    I think you may be wrong on this one. It is much more likely that the O.E. spon was an old Norse loaning. Old Frisian also had the word spon. It is possible that this is loan into Low German from Greek sphen. the utensil meaning came about around 1300 and is specific to M.E. The spatula meaning was in Mid.Low.Germ. and coexisted with the M.E. meaning.

  18. Bob says:

    There’s been a vague memory nagging at me since this page appeared, and I’ve just recalled it.
    When I was at University, there was a pub which was a favourite among the students, the name of which was a Spoonerism; it was called “The Boar’s Head”.

  19. nyagwaispiritbear says:

    I think the spoon ran away with the fork in “ancient” times………lol Gotz to love the word “ancient”

  20. avalonknight says:

    There is one known to Metal Gear Solid fans, where the game would say “Fission Mailed” instead of “Mission Failed”.

  21. akachuck says:

    The phrase “In the tank”. I can infer a general meaning from the context in which it is used but I would like to know exactly what it means.

  22. the_alchemist111 says:

    Here is my request

    ‘Ballbuster’

    What a dichotomy. Men ‘have balls’ when they’re assertive, but assertive women are ‘ballbusters’. Incredible!

  23. caruslira says:

    The phrase Hold a Candle to someone, where does it come from :O?

    Oh and the Register/Password system you have on this site is terrible, Original account is Zeltir. The password I got in the mail didn’t work so I had to make another account :s

  24. scooterbarks says:

    Marvelous on O’Reilly (sp)

    Mark Twain used the word “blatherskite” a number of times.

    Origin of the word BLATHERSKITE, please.

  25. papavolontario says:

    I would like to know why people says “I’m feeling blue” to mean to be a bit sad. Regards

    O’Reilly was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    She will be back NO doubt.

I’ll have to wait for the Oill Brielly show on youtube or the website here.

    “Доброй ночи Мария, хотя для Вас скорее вечер

    Меня достаточно давно интересует смысл и трактовка одной фразы, которую постоянно произносит персонаж одного знаменитого мультфильма. Не могли бы Вы помочь разобраться в смысловой нагрузке этой фразы, если такова имеется.
    Фраза: D’oh!
    Ссылка на видеоряд с этой фразой: http://ru.youtube.com/watch?v=UO8QpRkOG1o

    Заранее благодарен.

    • Marina says:

      I did a video on the word duh recently… and supposedly doh is a variant of duh… here is the video: http://www.hotforwords.com/2008/07/01/duh/

      There really is no other research on where doh came from other than it was first done by the Simpsons I believe.

      I usually speak in English on the site just because there are a lot of people from other countries and English seems to be the most common language that everyone can speak here.

      Sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner, was traveling to NY and back!

        Марина, спасибо за ответ!
        Был приятно удивлён, уделённым мне вниманием с Вашей стороны. Жаль, Вы не приезжаете на родину. Буду просматривать Ваш сайт, если будут возникать вопросы с непонятными фразами или словами, обязательно обращусь за помощью!

      • pankratov_ilya says:

        Посмотрев видео, я понял что слово DUH больше подходит под формулировку слова “ДА”, но в тех же Simpson’s, Homer использует это выражение явно с другим смыслом, чаще всего выражение D’oh переводят как слово “Чёрт!”.
        Марина, не могли бы Ð’Ñ‹ более подробно рассмотреть мой вопрос, Ñ‚.к. мне кажеться, что слово “DUH” и слово “D’oh” в корне отличаються по смыслу.

        P.S. Простите за нескромность, но не составит ли Вам большой сложности рассказать смысл этого слова на Русском языке?! Эдентично словам: “AK47&GTA4″

  42. wagomorph says:

    A long time ago one of the color commentators for the New Orlean Saint was a beloved former player Danny Abramowicz. During a game in the days prior to the 5 second delay, he spoonerized “punt coverage.” The resulting laughter caused the next play to be described after the fact rather than called live.

  45. meisler1 says:

    Hey, this isn’t actually a word request just something I wanted to point out. On your werewolf video you mentioned that the “v” pronunciation was changed to “w” overtime. I just wanted to mention that the pronunciation never changed, latin v’s were pronounced like w’s. Only in ecclesiastical latin are v’s pronounced as v’s, because of the churches close ties to Italy. I was just bored and felt like writing this, I have too much time on my hands :lol:

  46. James says:

    When will the o’reilley vids be on here?

    • errin says:

      Any hour now… In the meanwhile, you can pass the time reading this important news article:

      http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/06/10/activists-preparing-against-use-of-brown-note-at-dem-convention/

      It’s all you need to know about the dreaded brown note, courtesy of FOXnews.

      • melikadothechacha says:

        Tough to be “cool ” with a load in your shorts.
        Ups the ante too maintain a civil protest :cool:

      • Marina says:

        Isn’t that from an episode of South Park?

      • Capman911 says:

        I like your article Errin, but I don’t think it should be used against harmless protesters. If they were caring objects to harm other people then maybe so. But everyone has a given right to protest against the government or it’s policies. It just tees me off to think that for every protest there has to be some kind of force used against them. Our society is going to hell in a hand basket.

      • melikadothechacha says:

        I was going to mention the episode
        of South Park where Cartman switched
        the sheet music for the recorder band.
        Glad I left it hang, Marina picked up on it!

        Capman911 – The article is mostly preparing you for the onslaught of whinig lawyers, and their arguements against using non-lethal force to quell unruly and civily disobedient protesters. Your civil right to protest does not exempt you from the law, and is not a guaranteed right to disobey lawful orders, or put the safety of yourself or others at risk. Society has adopted non-lethal quelling methods in order to minimize damage to harmless protesters. If society was going to hell, people would die, not just sh*t themselves!

      • errin says:

        As a sound engineer, I think the brown note should be used on everybody just for fun. But that’s just me! :twisted:

        Seriously, I get a big kick out of these sonic cannons, ever since they first gained publicity after a British cruise liner used one to thwart pirates of the coast of Africa a year or so back. Thing is, you don’t really need the brown note… enough white noise at a high enough decibel rate will stun people without hurting their hearing.

        On a side note, I really object to our Armed Forces using professional recordings to agitate or interrogate our enemies. That to me is a gross perversion of the recordings original intent (i.e. make an artistic statement and some $$$ to go with it), and our Armed Forces would be much better served creating their own recordings, which would actually be even more effective for breaking down wills, as pro recordings are all softened down by compression. Even a loud rock song blaring at high volume has been tempered via mixing and mastering. Using a recording not designed for agitation and interrogation is not as effective as using a recording specifically designed for breaking wills. If our Armed Forces are going to start using recordings as part of their psychological warfare weaponry, they should start being more dedicated and NOT use the intellectual property of recording artists from the music biz.

    Hey I got a word request me and my buddies were talking about yesterday. The verb, to sic. Like when you sic your dog on someone. I know sic is Latin, but the attack-dog verb does related to the Latin meaning at all. What’s the deal with “sic”?

    By my calcs, comments are high.
    Now is the time to start looking for

    To Answer
    As i am a bargecaptain and of course a sailor before i often wondered where the confirmation “aye aye” on an order came from, also because it’s not country bound but is used in all marine based enterprises, whether they are military or not…. could you find out? thanks in advance.

    Aye, Aye means;
    I understand
    I will carry the order out
    SO the term Aye, Aye

    • zeilbeest says:

      sigh… again i’m a captain; i know what it means, i wanna know the origin…. :roll:

      • CaptainJack says:

        zeilbeest, Some people don’t know how to read the entire post. These things happen from time to time. :mrgreen: Its all in their good intentions.
        :wink:
        I’ve heard of barge captain’s, but I don’t know what that entails? What inspired you to get your Masters ticket? :grin:

      • Capman911 says:

        For I was a Captain too. But I commanded a task force of firefighters. Loved the job. Hated to retire. :smile:

      • zeilbeest says:

        As you can see from my logname i’m not american :mrgreen:
        I’m from holland, and holland (or the netherlands as some of you know it), has the largest bargefleet in europe defenately, maybe even the world. Most of them are privately owned and the main business is providing the Rhinestates with product transport, either in the form of bulk,containers or tankers.
        The other business is providing seavessels with the necesaries (food,water,fuel,luboil). I’m in that business… i sail a 700 ton heavy fuel barge in the Amsterdam,Rotterdam,Antwerpen(belgium) ports to provide seavessels with fuel.
        Now you’d think fuel is fuel….. oh no, there’s all sorts… diferent centistokes (how luiquid it is) different sulfer content etc etc….
        The nice thing about the job is that there’s always a challenge; figure out where the connection on the vessel is, how to get to it,pump exactly the right amount, getting there on time etc etc…..
        So what inspired me to get my masters? Money of course…. if you want to make more money, you got to get the degree and put in the hours….. there are no free rides…. :razz: Does that answer your question captain Jack?

  54. skiskiski says:

    So, what’s your favorite contronym?

    Every time that I come to your site, the word “cleavage” comes readily to mind. Is “cleavage” a contronym? Or is it only the form “cleave” which is truly a contronym?

    I hope that you’re not chuffed that I would ask about the word “cleavage”. Or should I hope that you are chuffed? Wow, I seem to find it very difficult to ask such a beautiful woman so simple a question!

  55. copaman says:

    I know you did the “Cat out of the bag” phrase, but what about “the cat’s got your tongue”? That phrase has always been intriguing to me.

      • okay4now says:

  62. Marina says:

    I need to film a conversation that I am having on the web…. now this would be comments going back and forth between me and someone or multiple people… something funny… and with a cliffhanger at the end. I am having writer’s block right now trying to think of something funny.. that people would watch in a video.. and would end up clicking on a link at the end to see where the conversation ends up.

    Any ideas anyone?

    • Hey ! Marina ! What about a conversation with a French Old Dadie ?
      It could be about English+Russian+French.
      There are enough common words between French and English for making something interesting and funny.

      helium and nitrogen, with a twist!

      a new fad at the beach is making
      martinis and margaritas using
      liquid nitrogen. Breathing the
      vapors makes your voice deeper.

      [sexy girl with deep voice]
      “Buy me a drink, Sailor”
      (get some gender bender related humor)

      Perhaps a discussion could emerge
      involving the dangers of using helium
      as a substitute when nitrogen is
      unavailabe, or using helium to
      counteract the nitrogen.

      [not so sexy guy with high voice]
      “Hey baby, can I buy you a drink?”
      (just plain – funny)

      Buildup of nitrogen in the bloodstream
      leads to narcosis (the bends) while helium
      tends to induce laughter, then suffocation!

      Marina as the unaffected interviewer
      with two panelists, a man on helium,
      and a woman on nitrogen to set the
      stage for a debate over which method
      works better.

      The cliffhanger would involve having
      Marina test both methods, using
      lip sync to produce both the chipmunk
      vocal effect, and Yello’s “Oh yeah” for
      the nitrogen method, as an outro.

      Don’t know how practical this idea is
      as I’ve written it here, but there may
      be some fodder for an even better
      idea from Marina. :mrgreen:

      • stokesjrj1 says:

      The Smart Blonde

      A blonde woman boards an airplane. She is extremely exhausted and just wants to take a nap. She finally finds her seat and sits down next to a very curious young man.

      He wants to test the whole dub blonde thing and possibly make some money out of it. “Hey, wanna play a game?” he asks her. “No thank you, i just want to take a nap.” “Please, its really easy, all you have to do is answer the questions that i ask you. If you don’t know the answer, then you give me five dollars, and if I don’t know the answer to your question, then Ill give you five dollars.”

      “I really don’t want to do this. I just want to take a nap.”

      “Oh but PLEASE pretty please. Okay, how about if I don’t know the answer to your question, I’ll give you five hundred dollars.” The blonde woman became interested and decided to play the game.

      “Okay. How many moons does jupiter have?” the young man asked. The woman reached into her purse and took out a five dollar bill. “What goes up the mountain with three legs and comes back down with four?”.

      The young man, determined not to lose, gets out his laptop and searches all over the internet for an answered. Flustered and confused, the young man hand the blonde five hundred dollars.

      After a few hours, the young man was itching to know the answer to the question.”What was the answer to the riddle?” the blonde woman reached into her purse and handed the young man a five dollar bill.

      • stokesjrj1 says:

        Heres one cap , Three couples go to a motel, each couple wanting separate rooms, hotel keeper says 10 dollars each, or thirty dollars total. Each couple pays with a 10 dollar bill and the bellhop shows them to there rooms. later the motel keeper decides he overcharged 5 dollars for the rooms, says bell hop take this 5 dollars and give it back to the 3 couples, the bellhop on his way to carry out his task, can’t figure out how to how to divide 5 dollars between the 3 couples so he says , I will pocket 2 dollars and give each of the couples back each a dollar. Now each couple got back a dollar= 10 dollars minus 1 dollar is equal to 9 dollars times 3 couples is equal to 27 dollars plus the 2 dollars the bellhop kept makes 29 dollars, so what happened to the other dollar?

      • stokesjrj1 says:

        the 1 dollar out of the original 30.

      • stokesjrj1 says:

        “What goes up the mountain with three legs and comes back down with four?”. Any 4 legged creature.

      • roadrunrnch says:

        What? They never had 9 dollars in the first place. They each spent $10 and got back 3 and the Bellhop took $2. (30 – 5) + (3 + 2) = 30? Don’t over think it.

      • stokesjrj1 says:

        roadrunrnch , Yes i knew the answer.

      • stokesjrj1 says:

        However you make it sound like they each spent 10 and each got back 3 is equal to 21. Be more specific in you answer please.

    As i am a bargecaptain and of course a sailor before i often wondered where the confirmation “aye aye” on an order came from, also because it’s not country bound but is used in all marine based enterprises, whether they are military or not…. could you find out? thanks in advance. :wink:

    • melikadothechacha says:

      Aaar! Yer in luck thar matey!
      Aside from the pseudo-pirates,
      like me, there are a few serious
      sea wayfarers here who are
      into nautical word origins.
      Captain Jack is our main source
      in this regard. Other words requested
      have been the usual: starboard,
      leeward, astern and aft.
      Your request rounds out the
      list nicely. I’m just a landlubber
      myself these days, but I still
      get to go fishing in the deep water
      from time to time. I loves it!
      Marina may turn all this into
      a lesson – look what she did
      with “spoon”!
      carry on, sailor
      Peace! :mrgreen:

    • CaptainJack says:

      Captain Zeilbeest,

      Great question! I have wondered that myself and still do today. :mrgreen:
      I have my books open to the pages of words ‘ay,ay’ ‘Sir’ ‘No, no’ and ‘aye aye Sir’. I am pondering of whether or not to say anything. If I tell you then no video would be done for this word for sure. But if Marina is not going to do this word in the next week or so then your question would go unanswered. This is my dilemma.

      Since both of us knows that it means and when to use it I won’t go into that detail. ‘ay’ was first attested in the late 16th century. As far as I can tell the origin is unknown or untraceable according to my references. Maybe our dear teacher can shed a bit more light? Marina not only finds origins but she also finds the stories behind the origins of the words.

      • Warren says:

        It wasn’t “Eye, eye!” – regarding the first day with yer hook?

      • CaptainJack says:

        Funny Warren. :lol: You bring up a good point. I see many people write ‘ay ay’ or :smile: ‘aye aye’ as ‘eye eye’ which is incorrect.

      • roadrunrnch says:

        Aye Aye. Aye is old English for “yes.” A bluejacket says, “Aye
        aye, sir,” meaning, “I understand and I will obey.”

      • zeilbeest says:

        Ok now i get the comment from roadrunmch, and it would seem obvious,but captain jack already said the origin lies in the 16th century, and at the time there were at least 4 great fleets, english , spanish,dutch and french (and don’t forget the portuguese), now everybody nows that crews were “drafted” (most of the time kidnap came more close to it) so that would explain the widespread trough all international fleets, but how come that particular word, and is the origin realy english?
        I also did a few years in college and my major was history, and the 1st thing they teach you is never assume anything unless you have written proof.. :wink:
        So again, what would be the origin of the term “aye aye”and why is it so widespread international troughout all things maritime ?
        I anxiously await the answer….

        P.S.( roadrunmch: i know what it means, im a captain, i wanna know where it comes from.. :wink: )

      • CaptainJack says:

    • CaptainJack says:

      To all students. zeilbeest and I know the meaning of this word very well. :grin: Problem is we don’t know the etymology (aka origin) of ‘aye aye’. :neutral:

      According to: http://www.royal-navy.mod.uk

      AYE AYE The derivation of this is generally thought to be unknown, but some experts think it may possibly come from the German “Eiey!” – an exclamation of astonishment or admiration.

      According to: http://www.etymonline.com
      “assent,” 1576, perhaps a variant of I, meaning “I assent,” or an alt. of M.E. yai “yes.”

      zeilbeest, I referenced all I can here. We may never really find out the origin of this word. This is really up to our Teacher to investigate. If there is anyone here that stands the best chance to answer your request and now mine, is Marina.

    Nothing evil about spoons, huh?

    thanks to Hortence Freep and
    Seesixcm6 for their suggestion
    to ask for the origin of “spoon”.

    Kobe got excited about
    that half warmed FISH! :cool:

    I always like the spoonerism where
    Cinderella-ella slopped her dripper.

    Thank you for making learning fun!

    Can you explain the phrase “kindly do the needful?” I have heard that this is something that people from India say and that it might mean “do your job.”

  124. headwaves says:

    Spoonerisms – I used to do this as a party trick under the heading “what’s the difference?” and never revealing the punchline. Here are two examples:-

    What’s the difference between a baby and a seagull? A seagull “Flits along the shore”

    What’s the difference between an opera house manager and a small child? A small child “Sucks his fingers”

    Also:-

    “Cupid Stunt” was a Kenny Everet character spoonerism

    Robin Hood’s companion “Friar Tuck” was a pretty good one too

    The family member “Fanny Cartwright” was never ever talked about

    I apologise if I have offended, but remember “It is not the mouth it comes out of, but the mind it goes into.”

    tc all

    Hand…
    as in “give me a hand” or “could you lend me hand”
    its very basic and we all use all the time….but its a little violent if you think about it. i wonder what the origin of the phrase is…?

    Dear Marina, What a gigantic cake you had in your video! Looked delicious! Good luck to you on your performance on the O’Reilly Factor show tomorrow. I’m sure you will be excellent! Have a safe trip to the show and a safe return!
    For your homework I can only think of one possible spoonerism. When Brad Pitt had his first daughter with Angelina Jolie, they named her “Shiloh.” If there is a spoonerism when using Brad’s family name, it would be: “Piloh S____.” So, I hope she uses the last name of Jolie-Pitt, instead! :-)
    Best of luck, tomorrow! Your dear student, Seesixcm6

    IF there is anything sinister about the word Spoon?
    Ever had your Mother crack you in the head with a wooden spoon?
    What about Spooning after sex? Why Spooning?
    It was more like knifing, Cutting off your arm so as not to wake her so you could escape.

    Ok. Please no more POLKA DOT boxes. People well think we are all gay.

    I found like one of the first video lessons I watch back in July called Assassin. As I watched it and others. I am just amazed how Marina’s style is so much brighter today than just a year ago. Its like I was watching two different people. Marina ‘IS’ a professional without looking to professional. She definitely has her true spirit in her new style. I wonder what she her lesson will be like next July. :grin:

  138. runawayscott says:

    Try saying this without it becoming a spoonerism; ‘one smart fellow, he felt smart, two smart fellows they felt smart, three smart fellows, they all felt smart.

    And sinece it’s getting closer to election time, I would like to request the origins of the terms Left wing and Right wing

  139. James says:

    Yay Thanks Marina!! One other thing, does this mean I can eat with spoons now??? On that note then I shall ask if there is anything sinister about the word knife, that shall spell an end to these utensil based word requests! My brother fixed my computer. He is only 13 but brilliant!

    Miss Mirina,
    Is a SPORK okay to use. It is a spoon, but has little tines on the end like a fork?

    The Story of Rindercella by Archie Campbell

    Once apon a time, in a coreign fountry, there lived a very geautiful birl; her name was Rindercella. Now, Rindercella lived with her mugly other and her two sad bisters. And in this same coreign fountry, there was a very prandsom hince.

    And this prandsom hince was going to have a bancy fall. And he’d invited people from riles amound, especially the pich reople. Rindercella’s mugly other and her two sad blisters went out to buy some drancy fesses to wear to this bancy fall, but Rindercella could not go because all she had to wear were some old rirty dags. Finally, the night of the bancy fall arrived and Rindercella couldn’t go. So she just cat down and scried. She was a kitten there a scrien, when all at once there appeard before her, her gairy fodmother. And he touched her with his wagic mand … and there appeared before her, a cig boach and hix white sorces to take her to the bancy fall. But now she said to Rindercella, “Rindercella, you must be home before nidmight, or I’ll purn you into a tumpkin!”

    When Rindercella arrived at the bancy fall, the prandsom hince met her at the door because he had been watchin’ behind a woden hindow. And Rindercella and the prandsom hince nanced all dight until nidmight…and they lell in fove. And finally, the mid clock strucknight. And Rindercella staced down the rairs, and just as she beached the rottom, she slopped her dripper!

    The next day, the prandsom hince went all over the coreign fountry looking for the geautiful birl who had slopped her dripper. Finally he came to Rindercella’s house. He tried it on Rendercella’s mugly other … and it fidn’t dit. Then he tried it on her two sigly usters … and it fidn’t dit. Then he tried it on Rindercella … and it fid dit. It was exactly the sight rize!

    So they were married and lived heverly ever hapwards. Now, the storal of the mory is this: If you ever go to a bancy fall and want to have a pransom hince loll in fove with you, don’t forget to slop your dripper!
