Saying the Mackenzie King had a few peculiarities is like saying that there are a few drops of water in the ocean, or that a few snowflakes went to create a glacier, or that I have a few peculiarities, or that a dog has only a few fleas, or that there are a few stars in the sky.

(NB: I'm picking on Canadians here. The US has had folks with a few peculiarities, too.)
