Jason, I know you had no intention of trimming or altering your collection. It just was a funny phrase. It reminded me of a sketch Johnny Carson used to do with Ed McMahon- Aunt Blabbie. Carson's character was a really old woman and McMahon would always say to her "that's quite an undertaking" to which she would reply: "never use the word 'undertaking' around an old person." It's a variation of that theme- saying something innocent that's loaded with other implications.
