Words that are "a little bit off"

       One notice of this today by yours truly.

       As I left home to do an errand, I told Connie I was going.  She asked where.  I paused for a couple long moments, couldn't quite think of the store's name, and finally said "Spindles."  Then added, "You know, the place that sells color cartridges for printers, etc."

       When I got there, what I saw above the entrance door was "Staples," which I didn't think was far enough off to feel bad about it; in fact, I felt pretty good.  Really, "staples" are almost as incidental to what they sell there as are "spindles."
