   "We have only regular numbers on our keyboard," she explained. "No Roman numerals."

When her child's towel was stolen during a school swimming trip, an irate parent demanded of my mother, "What kind of juvenile delinquents are in class with my child?!"
  "I'm sure it was taken accidentally," said Mom. "What does the towel look like?"
  "It's white," said the parent. "And it says Holiday Inn on it."
