Re: [math-fun] pant versus pants

I grew up thinking the stick of sealing wax my great grandfather used to seal letters that was in my granfather's rolltop desk was "ceiling wax" and could never understand why someone would put wax on the ceiling. The same goes for the phrase "best seller" which I thought was "best cellar". Never could understand what made one the best. J. Brillhart

And when they explained that it was for putting it on lettuce instead, you would have been none the wiser ... WFL
