What's Your Calling In Name-Life?
May. 4th, 2008 10:09 pmThroughout the years, I have met people through their professions, people whose names define their work. Here's a sample, but with a twist: See if you can find out which one I made up.
Honestly, three out of the four are actual professionals in the indicated field and their names. Any guesses as to which is fiction?
Edit for the Answer 5-6-2008
ANSWER:Two out of three guessers got it right. Dr. Colon (spelled Colón, but pronounced by Mom as ":") was not Mom's proctologist, but was her gynocologist. I used to joke that he just missed his calling.
Oh, and not only was Mrs. Sloppy Mom's house cleaner, her first name was Ida.
The woman who cleaned our house when I was in high school: Mrs. Sloppy. My mother's proctologist: Dr. Colon. The orthopedic surgeon who operated on my knee: Dr. Hopp. My regular dentist: Dr. Nash.
