This Is Why I Find "Home Sweet Home" So Unflattering

to say nothing of tiger, spin, moon, wap, cook, duke, mack, and maggot.

OCALA - About three dozen Marion Oaks residents, one armed with a petition, broke into applause Tuesday night when the Marion County School Board voted not to rename the community's new school that's scheduled to open in 2008.

Horizon Academy at Marion Oaks will remain after the School Board voted 3-2 to deny a name change that School Board member Sue Mosley recommended a month ago.

Mosley requested Tuesday's discussion because she felt the school acronym "HAMO" was unflattering.

John Spence, one Marion Oaks community leader, said he could not comprehend what was unflattering about the HAMO acronym until someone pointed out one such situation..

"I struggled to understand why HAMO was so bad," Spence said. "Then someone pointed out that if you replace the letter 'A' with another letter it would make it a derogatory word."

This reminds me of a story:

A spinster calls the local sheriff to complain that a bunch of boys are using the creek behind her house for skinny dipping. So the sheriff goes to the boys and says:

"Guys, you're upsetting the lady who lives in that house. Now, I was once your age, so I happen to know further down the creek there is actually a better swimming hole. Why don't you all move down there, and no harm done."

So the boys move further down the creek. But a little while later, the woman calls up the sheriff again and says "They're still skinny dipping!"

"I told them to move way down the creek," the sheriff asks, "how can you possibly see them from your house?"

"I'm using my binoculars," the woman replies.
