Same argument I guess for having a hood like what an executioner wears!

And what about the tree sans leaves, roots and branches in the rear of

We could no doubt go on forever. I maintain though that it doesn't

What matters is that we allow for ambiguous meaning and then dialogue to
rectify misunderstanding..

It is a lot of fun though!

In England, a friend of mine was introduced thusly:
"Hey Everyone! Here's a friend from America! He's Randy!"
Randy wondered why everyone was laughing.

I think it's because "randy" in England means the same
thing as "horny" in the US.
