When I was a little kid, probably in Kindergarten or thereabouts, I liked a t.v. show called "Have Gun, Will Travel." Actually it was the theme song I liked, and the way the business card was shown at the start of each episode. It's on a retro channel these days, I don't watch it, but after all these years/decades it occurred to me why I gave one of our cats such a weird name- I named him "Wire," because I thought the main character on the show (going by the business card) was named WIRE PALADIN.
I misread and mis-hear things NOW ! I was told recently a new fella was moving in next door to me, she said his name was 'Stirrup' Stirrup ! says I - that's a strange name ............... No - Stewart, says she .................... My favourite is from a little boy saying the Lords prayer and he says 'Our Lord who is in Heaven - Harold be thy name' .............. Just kills me, aching ribs from laughing
Had an old fishing buddy from Oklahoma, on the okl. Texas border. Once he told me he used anise oil on his bait. Until then, I had never heard of anise oil. Only, he said it like 'anisol'. Took me awhile to figure out what he meant.
