You don't can worms, you dry them.

Of course you can worms. Where do you think the expression "can of
worms" comes from? Nobody says a "dry of worms."

No, seriously...

It's about time for an update, isn't it!

Who's for opening a 12 ounce freeze dried vacuum packed heat sealed packet
of worms?

I don't know. But I've never heard anyone say "a can of annelids" or
"a can of platyhelminthes." It's just worms...

Most of us can say "worms." I've never tried to pronounce "annelids" or
"platyhelminthes."

Ok, George. Hold your mouth this way <shows George>

P... P... PL... PLAT...

C'mon, you can do it... <George gets all red in the face and gives it

After that "annelids" is a snap. It's when you get to "Ascaris
lumbercoides" that it starts to get tough again...

I went to a high school in Texas that was so small that they only had
English I and no Latin at all. I reckon they figured that since most of
us spoke Tex-Mex we didn't need Latin. That's probably why I have
degrees in behavioral science, no one tried to make me learn another
dead language. Can you say "wu rm s"? Or would Catalpa worms be easier?
