No snakes or pirates, please!

I just read an article about a director, Lynda Ables, that has served her choir for 30 years. I thought this was kind of cute:
Instead of scolding singers when they over emphasize an “r” sound, Ables affectionately tells them, “There are no pirates allowed in my choir,” Kahl said. When they over emphasize an “s” sound, she makes a similar remark about snakes. “It’s just a cute way of saying, ‘Don’t linger,’” [associate music director Michael Kahl] said.
