Time in a van will do strange things to a person. Lots of time in a van will drive an English major to...anangrams.
"Mel, did you know that your name can be re-arranged to spell 'Ms. Ear Ski Meal'? Can I call you that from now on?"
"Ms. Ear Ski Meal!" giggled Kevin, looking for an instant like a schoolgirl.
"NiNi...let's see...'Hopi Skin Nin'. That has a nice ring to it."
"My name could be rearranged into...um..'Rent Yorm Sin'."
"Yorm?" asked Mel.
"Well, they do use 'yourn' for 'your' in some parts of the country--yeah, it's just like 'yourn', only with an 'm'. Rent your sin here. Although--why would you want to rent it?"
"Erin, do you need a break from the van?"
"Kevin, your name can be rearranged into 'Turd Ham Blev Kin.'"
"Okay, now that one does not make any sense," said NiNi.
"Haven't you heard of ham or turds?" I asked.
"You know what I mean!" she said.
"Well, kin are relatives," said Mel.
"Blev! What the heck is blev?!" demanded NiNi, exasperated.
"Blev? Blev is the gelatinious stuff that surrounds Spam in the can," I said.
"Really?" asked NiNi.
"Of course," I said.
