And I couldn't resist the chance to relate once more this anecdote about a
Classics professor at the University of Chicago many decades ago who was
researching the multifarious usages of GAR (I knew his name once, but
that's not really important to the story); he had a young woman student
doing a lot of the digging for him in those days before computer searches
of electronic data: she was known all over the university area as that
professor's "GAR GOYLE."
