I was walking through town one day when I was approached by a man who made me a bet.

He said, "Give me a letter in the alphabet and I'll come up with a word - if you know what it means then I'll buy you a drink - if you don't then maybe you can give me some spare change."

I said, "Hmmmmm how about 'P'?"

He said, "Pulchritude."

I said, "Huh?"

He said, "It means beauty."

I looked it up and he was dead right! Can't imagine using it but am happy my vocabulary has improved!

I keep waiting for a beauty parlor to open up with the name "Bower of Pulchritude".

Yeah, receptionist in this parlor will have to be paid double for saying 'Salon de Pulchritude Coiffure, how can I help you?' 100 times a day! I see out of business soon
