Re: Meet And Greats
Crooks were the curved or hooked sticks that shepherds used to catch the hind legs of sheep. Hook was a synonym for crook. It is likely that the two words were put together to mean 'by one means or another' for no better reason than the alliteration.
But who knows, still think yours is better.

No Enfield NS and the Rock as in Newfoundland, he's at the ferry terminal now and hopefully he'll be on the next ferry to Sydney NS...
