I used to get them mixed up. But not as another student in my economics class who came there direct from a physics laboratory. He was a tackle on the football team, named Brown.

No light came into the fellow’s eyes. «Just any means of transportation», said professor. Brown sat staring at him. There was a profound silence. «Choo-choo-choo,» said Bassum. «Toot,toot,toooooooooooot!» some students with a deep voice moaned. «Ding,ding,ding!» said Bassum.
