"Are you coming to the office Christmas party tomorrow night?" the young man asked his colleague veduchina.
"Well" replied his friend, "I'd like to but I'm afraid I've got to stay home. My pet will become very anxious if I stay out late."
"Pet?" replied the young man, "I didn't know you'd got one. What is it veduchina?"
"A centipede veduchina."
"A centipede? That's unusual." But that's no problem. Why don't you bring him with you?"
