Re: Pet Peeves

You want kinky, I'll give you kinky. Treeboard and fruitboard.

Here are the objections:

1. Treeboards are already sold by lumberyards.
2. Some trees grow funny and their boards are warped or kinky.
3. Some men will object to the reference to fruit.
4. Not all trees bear fruit.
5. Not all fruit comes from trees.
6. Some fruits are Apples.
7. Some apples are McIntoshes.

(It'll be Friday in about six minutes. Already is, in Newfoundland and 
elsewhere.)
