A thousand apologies (not sarcastic, by the way),

For some reason I keep thinking & typing & saying Turkey when I mean
Afganistan-- Thanks for the correction, or I wouldn't have noticed.  Would
somebody please smack my hands with a ruler so I can pay more attention.

And a thousand apologies to Turkey and any of its denizens for my typo.
