Some guys are named Guy, and some gals are named Gal. I see no reason why a moon can't be named Moon.

Just try not to swallow the fly. I've heard if it gets inside you, the only way to get rid of it is to swallow a spider

Back when I was a student, the auto-flush sensors on the toilets at my university were so sensitive that I could trigger an accidental flush just by leaning forward about 10°. Just the subtle variations in my normal sitting posture could sometimes trigger as many as five flushes before I even started wiping. It was so bad I started carrying a pad of post-it notes in my pocket so I could cover the sensor before sitting down.
