"A cleco a day keeps the doctor away"

Of course, a "cleco" is a thing, that is, a noun:
clecus
clecum
cleco
cleco
cleci
cleci
clecos
clecis
clecis
clecorum
(Of course, about all the Latin I remember is how to say "Te audire non possum; musa sapientum fixa est in aura", or "I can't hear you, I have a banana in my ear". My mother and my Jesuit teachers are so proud. )

I place all inventors into two groups;
......1/ Those I hope got filthy rich off their invention.
And 2/ Those I hope have to use their invention every day.
Mr. Cleco belongs in group 1.

Love them.
I don't have any good ones to add but have yelled a few obscenities when I get my skin between one and the part!
