Bribe him with a rasher of bacon.

Not that he could be bribed. However, I do like the word rasher and like to drop it whenever it fits in with the conversation.

I feel strongly ambivalent about the word rasher. I love the sound of it but felt betrayed when I discovered that it refers to but one slice. I had previously imagined that someone eating a whole rasher of bacon was feasting.

And a thin slice at that, according to Will Shortz.

So, Connie. What are you on about?

So, Connie. You want we should PM you submissions?

Or, no, wait! You gotta come up with a word first.

|slamming palm-of-hand off forehead| Yeah, it took Faldage's post to clue me in.

I had just then figured it out. Y'all's palm-of-hand-slapping was but an echo of mine own.

Yep, I also only got it after Faldage's post.

Pretty subtle for a hog-callin' contest, if you ask me. Now *that was a good pun, Connie!
