There is a common English word that is nine letters long. Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains an English word - from nine letters right down to a single letter.
What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing one letter at a time?
Any guesses?

Remove the R = sting
Remove the other T - sing
Remove the G = sin
Remove the S = in
Remove the N = I

Here's one from my New Yorker calendar yesterday:
What king has the head of a lamb, the middle of a pig, the hind of a buffalo and the tail of a dragon?
(and it's not Prince Philip -- he isn't a king!)
