Guest guest Posted May 13, 1999 Report Share Posted May 13, 1999 If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked and dry cleaners depressed? If you take an Oriental person and spin him around several times, does he become disoriented? Why do we say something is out of whack? What is a whack? Why do overlook and oversee mean opposite things? Why isn't 11 pronounced onety one? Why is it that if someone tells you that there are 40 billion stars in the universe you will believe them, but if they tell you a wall has wet paint you will have to touch it to be sure?
