Hi, Gaburieru,

	Vely intelestring! (How did they derive "Bring a pet's
excrement 
home"?)

	This is also interesting:

	Any comments from our Chinese/Japanese readers?  There
have to be some 
equally good examples of this.  

	In W.W.II American aviators used code words like
"lollopping lollapalooza" 
to confuse Japanese listeners, who only had one liquid
consonant in their language.  
FWIW.  

Sayonara,
Dennis
