Wrong. "The caps' pen." Thanks for playing.

EDIT:

Sorry, that's wrong. On all counts.

I'll just stick with the singular "Mrs. Jones' hat."

Well then, you're only halfway real men, or halfway weak-minded people, where it counts...that is, when counting money, 'cause you have 100 cents to a dollar like most everyone else.

Now the British, *those* were the dudes, when they still had the Imperial currency system :-)

Also, Mrs. Jones has two breasts, so that plural is appropriate.
