Dear uncle Kenny,

You'll never guess what I learnt last night! We were talking about different languages last night and we were going into how to say "so-so" in many languages. It were a proper highbrow conversation.

Anyway, I had a bit of a double take when someone mentioned the Greek. In Greek it is "echi-kechi". As you know, "echi" means horny and "kechi" means tight-fisted:

"Hey!"
"How are you?"
"Not bad. You?"
"Ah, horny and tight-fisted, you know? Swings and roundabouts."

As you can see, I'm going to have no problem filling those long winter nights now....

Yours faithfully,

Tanuki Dave
