The message
from (Mike Lyle) contains these words:

It's a fair cop, guvnor, you got me bang to rights.
I'll come quietly.
It should have, in fact, read 'amphibiOUS'. :-)

I realised that, but blame the company I keep: life over on
alt.usage.english makes a man kinda mean!

And life (but not as we know it, Jim) in the Shed molishes a man kinda
mean to anyone from alt.usage.english........

That thar's fightin' talk, stranger!

Mike.
