Some of you may remember that a couple of years ago I had a bit of strife with a Thread I posted about a certain white petroleum jelly.

Now, at the time, and even until today, I never gave a thought to whether the trade word had a masculine or a feminine form until I received the following email. This arrived not in my Hotmail box but in one of my 'private' email boxes :-D

"Hello new friend!

I wish I could write your real name but you never told me that, so, I have to use your profile name on facebook.

I send you my picture as you asked. Could you write me your name? Will you send me your picture? A descent one! In what city or town do you live?

I hope to hear from you soon. I will have my vacation in 3 weeks if my boss doesn't make to work longer 1-2 weeks. I will be very glad to become friends and meet in real.

If you have any questions, just ask.

Best regards,

Vasilina."


The name just cracked me up :-D :-D :-D


Just to add, I am not on Facebook;-)

PS There was no picture with the email :-(

Now, now, Ann, soap and water will not help; my mouth is lined with a certain substance :-P

I very nearly said Vasilina, but that, of course, could be open to misinterpretation ;-) :-D :-D
