Walrus -- "A tissue" is onomatopoetic, basically identical with "atchoo," but subject to some drift towards the thing you sneeze into, the tissue, right? Kleenex is fairly modern, is what I meant.

What's the source of your info on the mulberry-bush song? Fascinating, if it moved from what we can assume is a fairly rough bunch to the children's play-yard. Why were prisoners planting mulberry bushes? The fruit's only barely edible (tho' like dandelion wine, there's always someone to rave about it).

IIRC? I'm green -- I don't understand this.

Best,

Adam
