    Ohm, ohm, on the range.
    I prefer a gas range myself.

      Heh. First wives don't like to hear themselves referred to as such ...or so I hear.
      My brother referred to his second wife as "future ex-wife #2" practically from the day they got married.

        Maybe he had an ex-wife and use the phrase to distinguish her from the X

            It was perfectly normal for certain classes of railway employees, back in the day. Every signalbox, level crossing and station needed staff who lived either on-site or within walking distance, so the railway would simply build some houses on railway land for them - it was cheaper and more reliable than paying them enough to rent privately.

            Crossing keepers, in particular, got a house right next to the crossing, with the block bells and any necessary controls mounted by the porch.
