Oh NO! We ahd a patient named Harry Peters on the Medicare floor at the SNF i just left. It was so hard to talk about his case because his name caused eruptions of giggles every time. Thank God he didn't stay long!
Harry Peters??? Is that an American joke?? I may be dim but I dont get it. Down here in Australia perhaps its different.
Thanx for Harry Peters which i am hearing for the first time to b meaning some part of the males since I have always known names like Dick and Joseph also to mean another part of the male anatomy!! May be even some people refer to it as John or Immanuelle in other parts of the world!! In any case, meanings are in people!!!I hope mine does not mean anyything similar to that anywhere in the world... I would change it immediately!!

There's a student in our class named Ie (pronounced eye). I've witnessed and been part of several conversations along the lines of:
"Who did this?"
"Ie did."
"Why did you do it that way?!"
"I didn't do it, Ie did."
"That's what I just said!"
"The other student's name is Ie, she's over there!"
"Oh..."
