I have played with words my whole life.  I've told the story before about spending most one summer with my aunt's family.  She had married a man named Witt, so on a phone call home to my folks, little 10-year-old me — knowing exactly what the words meant — announced:  "I'm now a half-Witt."  And I laughed like crazy.  Wasn't I "witty"?
