Post by: cozmik_cowboy on January 09, 2020, 07:45:01 PM
We were just Skyping with our 3-y-o grandson in AK, and was showing all his dinosaur toys, dinosaur books, dinosaur clothes (I could go on, but you get the drift), and telling all about each one ("Is the a T. Rex, Rudy?"  "No, Granddude  - see the big claw on top of its foot?  It's a .......[hey, he's the expert, not me]) what they each ate, etc., and I had a thought:

Why is it called “Ovalteen”?   The jar in round, the opening is round, the cap is round.  Shouldn’t it be called “Roundteen”?

And in this age of political, non-sexist, correctness, shouldn’t the Mailman be called the “Person Person”?

Bill, tgo
