<br>It has always seemed to me that this must be a part of the same impulse
<br>that leads children to try to figure out meaning connections and leads to
<br>such howlers as TAKE IT FOR GRANITE and GLADLY THE CROSS-EYED
<br>BEAR. Haven't we all been taught that linguistic creativity is
<br>    mired into our brains?

<br>
<br>Whether thought-out or a creative slip of the fingers, Ron, that is
<br>beautiful!
