  In order to remove a little of the mysticism surrounding the issue of
strangeness in the nucleon, we present simple, physically transparent estimates
of both the strange magnetic moment and charge radius of the proton. Although
simple, the estimates are in quite good agreement with sophisticated
calculations using the latest input from lattice QCD. We further explore the
possible size of systematic uncertainties associated with charge symmetry
violation (CSV) in the recent precise determination of the strange magnetic
moment of the proton. We find that CSV acts to increase the error estimate by
0.003 \mu_N such that G_M^s = -0.046 +/- 0.022 \mu_N.
