What's In A Name?
I'm headed out the door about right now for a long day on the road, chasing down bad people who are trying to steal my money and yours. Since time is a factor, I shall be brief.
Did you ever notice there aren't any little old ladies named "Amber?" I don't know any "Tiffanys" or "Heathers" either. You can usually tell by looking at a first name if a woman is old or young. If I see "Maude" in the newspaper, it ain't because she just made the varsity cheerleading squad. There's a good chance I'm looking at the obituary page.
So where are all the old geezers named "Madison," "Connor," "Ryan" and "Dillon?" Can you even imagine a little old lady in a floral print dress, silver hair up in a bun, eyeglasses perched on the end of her nose while knitting away on a sweater for her great granddaughter, and the nice nurse in the care facility introduces her to you as "Mackenzie?"
Not me, I won't even be around. I'm going out with all the other "Marks," and the "Johns," Mikes." and "Bobs."
