    My SO's pediatricians were named Dr. Cutting and Dr. Burns! He had a professor named Dr. Brain.

    Where was it, I think Twickenham, Middlesex, England, I saw a funeral home with morticians named Wake and Paine, as the sign in front said.
    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.
    CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

    There was a pet grooming salon in Milwaukee allegedly owned by a Mr. G. Howard Barks, or G. Howie Barks.

    Years ago, my dad had a physician by the name of Dr. Coke.

    I always wondered if they had a son named Ryan....

    Candace - speaking of doctors - brings back another for me. This is a story my mother told me, and I always got a good chuckle out of it.

    When my mother was just a little kid, she had polio - and it affected one leg. Two of her doctors were named:

    Dr. Foote
    &
    Dr. Legg


    It's too silly to be made up. Besides - Ma never would have thought of anything that clever (bless her heart).
