If I want to see Mr. Gun go running out of the house screaming, I just call him "lamby." And when I want to go out to eat, I just tell him I made beanie weenie for dinner. If I want him to clean up the garage, I tell him I'm having a garage sale and anything in it is going. After all these years, I've got a million of 'em.....

Whoa, that's bordering on abuse! (But, hey, if it works, do you mind if I borrow it?)
