In ancient England a person ! could not have sex unless you had consent of the King (unless you were in the Royal Family).

(Fornication Under Consent of the King) on it. Now you know where that came from. If you were to spell out every number starting at zero, it would take you to one thousand to find a letter "A". Bulletproof vests, fire escapes, windshield wipers, and laser printers were all invented by women. The only word in the English language to contain three back to back double letter combinations is; Bookkeeper.
