Doesn't that sound too funny?

Sorry, that should have been playing with your Pooh.

    It was named after a bear at the London Zoo named Winnepeg and a swan named Pooh.

    pooh or pooh-pooh is the sound of the swan.

    It's not weird if you know the origin of a name.

    I have always thought Pooh & his honey pot were way strange. Add Tigger & E-Orr & you sort of have a group of mentally & physically challenged individuals with severe eating disorders & too much time on their hands. Some clothing options might have made them less weird in my mind! Now Pooh's relatives are on the Charmin commercials sellin' toilet paper & they still don't wear clothing, but they use toilet paper? I just don't get it...what are the marketing people using for brains?

    What about Barney? What's big & purple & makes you smile?...I ain't touchin' that one either!
