Levi's Levis' Levee Levee Levee.

Far be it from me to spoil a sport, but shouldn't that be "Levi's Levis' Levee Levee Levy"?

Interesting that this should come up here. I had also seen (and wondered about) the word in English-language news on the flooding. And later, in a German-language paper I found the phrase..nicht ein Damm, sondern eine Flutwand. quite clearly making a distinction between a dam and a levee.
