You know, I read this book many many years ago, and cannot remember a thing about it. Bennett Cerf, in one of his collections of jokes, maintains that the MacDonalds' friends all suggested names for their new animals, like Chickov, Pullet Goddard, and Himalaya. Some others too, but I can't remember them at this point and can't be arsed to go look.
But that's not what I came here to write about. I came here to write about my vote. There are some pretty good entries here, with one sort of noticeable exception, and I am almost convinced to vote for A because I seem to recall that Betty indeed did not know exactly where Washington was. But I am vacillating among B, H, and P, all of which are compelling for various reasons.
(and dozens of people are out there as they read, saying to themselves, "Get to the point, windbag.") I'd have voted for B if it didn't already have one vote, so it's down to H and P. And I got burned by taking a P the last time out so I am gonna say what the H.
