Pet Peeves - Have Got

"Have got" or "has got" has to be one of my biggest pet peeves. It drives me crazy to hear it and see it in print. It seems that these two words are being used together more and more. I have never seen these two words used together when "got" can't be removed without anyone even noticing. If you can find a sentence with "have got" that the got is necessary to the sentence, please send it to me.
