Plural without an S (Posted on 2009-03-24)

How many relatively common singular nouns can you think of that, when you remove an "s", become a relatively common plural noun?

For example: PRINCESS (singular) becomes PRINCES (plural).

I know of at least four more, one of which only has one "s" to begin with.
