Apostrophe's
Danny, I've worked it out.
It seems to me that, at birth, some people were issued with a big, heavy bag - full of apostrophes.
The instruction given to them was that they had to use them all up before they would be considered for entry to paradise.
So, any word ending with an 's' is a good place to lighten their load.
We had an orderly-room clerk who was a terrible offender in that regard.
We sneakily got to his typewriter and filed the apostrophe off it.
There was nearly a royal commission over that.
