This is from Edgar
> "Orinoco" not "Oronoco"
..... Garden Imbecile
Do you know how insulted this banana plant will be? Do you? Oronoco,
in the language of the Tonto people of Tierra del Tontos means "he
who sucks scum from the bottom of toilet bowls". On the other hand
"Orinoco" means " the esteemed Company of the God Orin" . Orin who
was a Lutheran missionary from Minnesota who was revered by the Tonto
people of the river basin because he impregnated so many of the local
women after his inspiring sermons that he became known affectionately
after twenty years as "father". That was just before he formed a
Banana company with his name sake Orin-O-Co.
So next time you casually say Oronoco think twice.... think twice so
you will not alienate that large part of your subscribership who live
in the land of Tonto.
