The letter of the law

I don't know what it is - the letter of the law - but it's probably not an L. An L sounds sort of wimpy, doesn't it? If you heard the judge was going to throw the L at you you'd giggle.


Letters are like that. You could have an O of course, or a K - I don't know what a K might be but surely you could have one, or a Q - but I doubt you could give away a C. There is an interstate state fair held hereabouts every autumn called the Big E which sounds, well, a little poorly defined but still not bad, but the Big C sounds like a pill. A Z sounds, by default, restful, but a W sounds comatose. And everybody wants an A.


Go figure, huh?
