Zookeeper's Dilemma
A zookeeper wanted to get some extra animals for his zoo, so
he decided to compose a letter. The only problem was that he
didn't know the plural of "mongoose."
He started the letter: "To whom it may concern, I need two
mongeese."
No, that wouldn't work, so he tried again: "To whom it may
concern, I need two mongooses." Is that right?
Finally, he got an idea: "To whom it may concern, I need a
mongoose, and while you're at it, send me another one."
