Perhaps every other org is a good one.
---
"I'm sure I'll take you with pleasure!" the Queen said. "Two pence a week, and jam every other day."
Alice couldn't help laughing, as she said, "I don't want you to hire me – and I don't care for jam."
"It's very good jam," said the Queen.
"Well, I don't want any to-day, at any rate."
"You couldn't have it if you did want it," the Queen said. "The rule is, jam to-morrow and jam yesterday – but never jam to-day."
"It must come sometimes to 'jam to-day'," Alice objected.
"No, it can't," said the Queen. "It's jam every other day: to-day isn't any other day, you know."
"I don't understand you," said Alice. "It's dreadfully confusing!"
- xtracto 5y agoThis is perfect :) . I am as illiterate as one can be, but loved this reference.
- hotpotamus 5y agoIt's even cleverer than that - it's also a reference on latin conjugations builtin to the Queen's joke. Carroll was a smart cookie.
