Camel.  Rabbit.  Locust.  Cobra.  Dolphin.  Ostrich.  What do these have in common with a Dancer?  Or a Sugarcane?  Or a Tree?

I'll give you a hint.  They aren't living things.  Well, they are, but that isn't the answer I was going for.

Remember the good old days?  When you could text & drive (legally)?  Ah, nostalgia!  Those were the days!!!

My last name isn't common.  It isn't Smith or Jones or Cunningham.  It's not even Strickland, Lancaster, or Holcomb.  My last name comes from Italy; Arezzo, Tuscany, to be precise.  But it's not even a common Italian name like Rossi or Marino or Ferrari.  Most people can say or spell names like that if you ask, and can even say or spell names like Giordano or Lombardi without much trouble.  But my last name always throws a curveball, even though I find it very simple to spell and pronounce.
