I'm just saying, the origin of a word, Monty Python sketch or not, doesn't usually keep it from the dictionary. I mean, they have added some really stupid ones in the last few years from social media. Can't think of an ex while still drinking coffee.

I went to renew my vehicle license tabs and saw a voluntary $2.00 fee for "anatomical donation education contributions;" so I added that in. THere was a long line there so I didn't bother to ask the registrar about it (it said there was info online too). So trying to find that on the website was tricky; but I *finally* found it: under the section on Motorcycle, motor bikes and electric bicycles! :-D
(Maybe I have a sick sense of humor; but I did think that that was a suitable place for that information!
