Try listening to a piece by Tom Lehrer (in his album "An Evening Wasted
With Tom Lehrer" from the 1960's) in which he describes somebody known
as Henry. "Henry was an individualist. He spelled his name  H E N 3 R Y.
- the three was silent you see." As I recall Hen3ry was taken away
to the Massachusetts State Home For The Bewildered..." Sorry about the 
spellings and stuff, but I don't have a dictionary handy...  just before
they took him he uttered the following line...

"Life is Like a sewer - what you get out of it depends on what you put into
it" - Tom Lehrer.
