I vote for mongooze. That's made my day and I only just woke up.

By the reckoning of the mighty Oxford English Dictionary (why yes, we are sleeping together), the plural can be any of mongooses, mongeese, mongoose or mongooze(!!)

The zoo-keeper, having prepared a shipment to another zoo, was stymied when drafting the cover letter. "Enclosed are the two mongeese..." He scratched it out and wrote: "Enclosed are the two mongooses..." He scratched that out too.

Finally, he wrote: "Enclosed is the mongoose you requested. Also enclosed is the other mongoose you requested."
