The Coc allows light-hearted humor,  I'm so disappointed you didn't get my 
clever punning in my last email.  I thought it was a treasure.

Now while what you said is fine for this list, it's questionable it adds value 
to this discussion.

On further observation, I realize it can be used as a testcase to test the 
strength of this Coc.  So I stand corrected this is quite relevant and useful 
to this discussion.  In fact, I think we should package all these and use them 
in regression tests for this Coc.

Thanks,
Regina
