Dear People,
People, yes you can have 'A People'- if describing a Nation, Religion or Race. A Person is an Individual, although you can get 'Personal' about a Person. I'm NOT sure but, I don't think that, you can get 'Peopleable' about People though???
Until only a 'Few Years Ago', if someone was walking down the Street 'Talking Away To Themselves- at the Top Of Their Voices', they would have been considered 'Mad'.... now Everyone, would Assume that (s)he is 'on the Phone'- with a Bad Line.

In Russia, every year, they have a Competition where 'Cows Eat Clover'. A farmer, called Klonskie decides that he wants to Win, one year. As such he doesn't feed 'Daisy-ski' for few days. By the time poor Daisy-ski, reaches the the Competition, she is Ravenous. Once allowed to start eating Daisy-sky, positively devours, Eighteen Tons- one the first day- and Twelve tons the next. Clearly this is 'Well enough', to win outright.
As they make their way Home....Daisy-ski now Completely Full, and carrying all the 'Winning' Rosettes and Ribbons, someone asks "Who are they?". "Don't you recognise them..... That's Chia Klonskie, and his Eighteen/ Twelve Clovature"!

The Teacher has a 'Real Smart Kid', in her class... knows his 'tables', up to six, can spell 'unnecessary' without a Dictionary- all by seven, and a half, years old. She will 'Fix' him..... "Simon" "Yes Miss" replies the boy. "You have Thirteen Potatoes, all different sizes, four small, four large and five damaged. You have to give Nineteen Children, the same amount of potato, how would you 'Do' so"? ('Get out Of That Smart A**e' thought the Teacher). Without any hesitation, Simon simply replied, "I'd Mash them Miss".
A Lady goes to the Police Station, to report her Husband 'Missing'. The Coppers ask, all the usual questions... Age, Height, Hair Colour, what he was wearing and so forth.
