Rather than answer the question herself, she put it tothe class and had to laugh when the for instance started coming back to the word that means a con- tradiction in terms. They included wise man, honest politician and postal ser- vice. P.S. A happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there. If you get a'chance to be spoiled and pam- pered, go forit.
