What's in a Name

We are all known by our names, and our names have significance in our family history. Our names do not usually tell our professions. But the following names I have come across reflect the professions of those people. While reading the newspaper the other day, I came across an article about pain and ways to cope. The main doctor quoted was Dr. Cope. At a weight loss clinic is a doctor named Dr. Ton. Our veterinarian was Dr. Fix. And a local high school teacher of German was none other than Ms. German. I would hate to think of the professions that would match some of the unusual names I know.

The Quiet Ones Go First

Toots, my granddaughter, and I were sitting in the parking lot waiting for a friend to be released from his football practice. We saw a group of girls streaming from the building, but not a guy. I commented that I did not see him yet. Toots quickly replied that they send out the quiet ones first.
