I'd been saving "Bocardo" for months, and now I can't use it.  Damn.  It 
was not only a syllogism but the name of the Oxford (UK) town jail (or 
maybe university jail -- I forget), which would have provided a lovely 
misleading etymology.  "Getting in Bocardo" was a problem both logically 
and practically.
