Sometimes we have to learn the hard way. Like the time I saw the sign: 'Lobster-$3.oo'
I quickly u-turned, paid the woman my $3.oo, and she said: "ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS THIS LOBSTER".
OR the time I ordered a 'Slow Cooker'. What they delivered was: A TURTLE WEARING A CHEF'S HAT.
About 60 years ago I had some silver sheet. I wanted to make silver reeds hoping that I would get that 'Silvery' sound. Hah, you've heard of St. Lawrence? St. Louis?....well..Saint happenin. lolol
