Or, maybe she did, but it was stinky cheese, and the moose, duly offended, was within his rights.

If the plural of tooth is teeth,
why isn't the plural of booth, beeth?
One goose, 2 geese. So, one moose, 2 meese?
Is cheese the plural of choose?
One mouse, 2 mice.
One louse, 2 lice.
One house, 2 hice ?
OK. OK. I couldn't help myself.
