Larkin,
If your head pealed like a bell, you might have something there. I only
hear onions ringing when I eat the soup with the funny herbs in it.
(Sorry about that. It's another one of those "homophone" things. (<; )
The Jewish skull cap is called a yarmulke (pronouncet yah-mah-kah) or a
kepah (sp?) (pronounced KEY-pa). Mistress Muireall taught me that one.
