Roger's Thesaurus

Call me odd ball but I have always used a thesaurus when writing. Essays, reports, business plans - the thesaurus is handy, handy, handy.
When I asked ST about using a thesaurus he surprised me. Here's a transcript of our conversation:
Me: Have you ever used a thesaurus?
ST: No.
Me: Oh. Why? *tilts head to encourage ST to open up and share*
ST: Because it's a big book and it's Roger's, not mine.
Me: *stops suddenly* What?
ST: It's true. It was never 'ST's Thesaurus', always 'Roger's Thesaurus'.
Me: Roger?
ST: Well, haven't you noticed that the publisher spelt Roger wrong? I always thought we were lucky the spelling error occured where it did or else it would have been 'Toger's Thesarus'
Me: ROFL!!
