When I was a fellow at Notre Dame I went out to dinner with Al Plantinga. He was telling us how he liked the Catholic school his daughter attended. So I asked him "So, you couldn't find a Reformed school for her?" Only, I deliberately failed to enunciate the "d" in Reformed, prompting a disquisition by AP on the difference between a Reformed school and a reform school.

The difference is that you can't bring a TULIP to reform school;-)
The deliberate drop of the "d" at the end of the word was great humor in action. Genius. I also have a weakness for setting up someone for a long diatribe in personal conversation.
However, I've never been able to get a personal diatribe out of someone as brilliant as Mr. Plantinga. You are on a different level than I.
