In Buffalo, which lies squarely (if uneasily) on the American side of the
border, there's a new street called "Harbour Pointe." When I address mail
there, I make a point of omitting the extraneous u and e.


	"What's that you're watching, Tommy?"
	"Super-heroes, Captain Buffalo!  Wanna watch with me?"
	"Tommy, I don't WATCH super-heroes--"
	"Mud-maaaaan!  Mud-maaaaan!"

	"Tommy, you shouldn't be watching this!"
	"Awww, Captain Buffalo!  This is GREAT!"
	"He can't be HURT 'cause he's made of DIRT! Mud-man! MUD-Man!
		MUD-MAAAAAN!"
