Olive story, 
We bought our house on the lake several years ago.  At the same time we found Olive our little Mini Schnauzer puppy.  Never really having trained a puppy before, I was learning as much as she was.  I found myself constantly saying things like:
“Olive come here”
“Olive, leave that alone”
“Olive, where are you?”
I discovered how well sound carries on a lake when we went to our first lakeside party.
One of my neighbors from across the lake, an old Yankee gentleman introduced himself, shook my hand and exclaimed,
“Boy was I glad to find out your wife’s name isn’t Olive!”
 
True story.

Yeah I noticed how patient you  Mods have been with this  thread.   I stopped counting  all of the warnings  after the first dozen or so.
