Re: Cooperative Colonization Association "RIP" with Friday funny?



(No, this isn't a "rest in peace/pieces" joke)

Amy, I don't think this works, but I thought I'd pass on an interesting note.

I decided to check an old dictionary (in this case, Webster's 1854) to see
what kind of stuff started with "rip"  and found under "rip" (noun)
definition 2 is "a wicker basket to carry fish in"

Not exactly a wicker baby carriage, but an interesting coincidence... !  I
don't think the parallel of babies to fish works very well.  Both may wiggle
alot, but babies are louder.
