I'm not going home for the holidays and I still have the "I don't want to do my work" blues.  While researching why men's and women's shirts button differently in order to determine whether the story I knew was Tapioca or Truth, which was important to discover since I told it to impressionable young ladies at church, I came across Dr. Douglas H. Plume's Fountain of Genius website.  He seems to be the only one that did not confirm the story I knew because, you know, checking three websites on Google is enough to extrapolate the claim that everyone agrees and that makes it truth.  Well, I'm still convinced that when buttons came about men dressed themselves and most people were right handed so the easiest way to button is to take the button in the right hand and push it through the holes on the left.  Women, on the other hand, had help dressing (one version says this is because women's clothes buttoned in the back) so the buttons were reversed for the one doing the dressing.  Dr. Plume tells a different story but I'm writing to share with you his expert opinion on personal pronouns because I found it funny.  I know, I laugh easily, as illustrated by Richard's shock and hurt by the fact that I didn't react at all to a pun he made at Bible study last night.  It's just that usually his puns are more creative than that.  Okay, I've got to practice.  Have a lovely day!
