  Or, if you want to be even more confusing...

  create table [where]

  ([where] char(5),

  [from [where] varchar(25),

  [select [where from [where] varCHAR(50),

  )

  go

  insert into [where] values ('from where', '[from [where]]', 'select [where] from [where]]')

  GO

  select [where], [select [where from [where] from [where] where [from [where] = '[from [where]]' and [where] = 'from where';

  GO

  drop table [where]

  go

  Thanks, Ladies and Gentlemen, I'll be here all week.
