"""
Polymorphism happens and we can’t avoid it despite its silly sounding 
name.  We might have a baseclass which represents a basic document and 
we might subclass this generate ‘invoices’.  A different subclass might 
generate ‘cheques’. They may both have a method called print but the 
implementation of ‘print’ could be entirely different for the two base 
classes even though the same name ‘print’ is used in each case.  That’s 
polymorphism

Hilarious! I wasn't aware of the technical term "silly sounding name" ...
