True. However, I was taking poetic license to make a jocular, frivolous "point." But I can see I am rarely acceptable when playful, here. I'll have to be more careful.
And by the way, the use in that statement by me of "be" was deliberately vernacular. I am fully aware the verb should have been "are."
