Shouldn't the plural of "Mongoose" be "Mongeese?" |
|
Or is it? I just like saying mongeese, really. Also, shouldn't the plural of moose be meese?
Meese in cabeese with mongeese with neese around their necks.

6. Unless there is a really hot-looking Jamaican guy involved, |

8. And the plural of spouse should be speese? |
|
Of course, we're not allowed to have plural spouses, are we? But what if our spouses were all in one room, watching feetball or making pancakes? Couldn't we call them speeses then? Or maybe spices if they're cooking really good pancakes.
Oh, I'm so tired . . . .
