Palatalization

[Peter Richardson]

That story of the 3 wise men coming from a fire brings to mind another
illustration for Ling. 101: a Little Johnny story.

The children are drawing manger scenes [OK, so it's not a public school].
The teacher notices a very--um--large fellow standing in back of the
manger and asks Little Johnny who that might be: "Well, that's Mary, and
that's Joseph, and that's little Baby Jesus...and that's Round John
Virgin."

Happy holidays, all.
