An amusing typo

[womzilla]

IM doesn't encourage careful typing under the best of circumstances, and one of our traders has only a passing familiarity with the written word, so it's often a challenge to be sure what he has meant to say. Today, he blended together the name of one of our customers, G*---, with the word "forgot", to get "gorgot". Which I thought was totally lovely. It's clearly a monster, but I'm not exactly sure which kind: a gorgon which causes amnesia with its gaze is one possibility, but I have to say that I'm more attracted to the idea of a medusa who turns petrifies people and uses their statues to stage Samuel Beckett plays.

A monster? Sounds to me like a bit of armor -- something to guard the throat from slashing attacks.
