Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
When I hear "oleo" my first reaction is to think of shock absorbers for aircraft.

Interesting tidbit, Rick.
In news guaranteed to make SA howl:
The era of carefree, unlimited Internet browsing and downloading might be coming to an end.
Industry leaders Comcast and Time Warner Cable have started testing traffic-metering and management techniques that seek to rein in heavy usage, and AT&T says such limits are inevitable for the most extreme users of its network.
That means that for the first time since the era of dial-up access, Internet providers are looking to count how many bytes a customer uses, potentially ending or significantly altering the practice of all-you-can-eat broadband consumption.
The providers say the initiatives - which are only tests at this point - are aimed at a certain subset of heavy users who consume an inordinate amount of bandwidth, threatening the performance of the network for other customers.

I think Oleo was a brand name that wound up like Xerox or Band Aids or Saltines.
While it may have been a brand name (I don't know for sure), the word oleo is a shortened form of oleomargarine, which was the butter substitute invented by a French chemist at the request of Napoleon.
Napoleon wanted a butter substitute that would go bad, for use by the army and the lower classes.
The word oleo is derived from the term "oleic acid," which basically means "oil."

I assume you mean " not go bad." Or did Napoleon just hate the army and the lower classes?

!!!?!?!?!?!
I'm guessing with all the new fast food joints going in across the street, its building was looking sad and trashy. So they're replacing it with something that's all new and fancy and looks just like the new places across the street...
