One of the women at work was complaining that she could never find any gifts bearing her granddaughter Ruby’s name. I thought that a bit strange until it turned out they spell it Rubee.
Idiocracy is well on its way to coming true. Oh how I wish people had to take tests for basic intelligence to have kids.
If I was an authoritarian this would be rule one!
A couple of years ago, I showed The Missus "Idiocracy" and the 1st 10 minutes scared the crap out of her--no joke. Well, more like "truly alarmed" her. The part about human trash breeding like cockroaches. (No offense intended to cockroaches.)
I'm sure I've posted this on the board somewhere long ago, but a friend of mine was a Pediatrics nurse and she told me of three times when moms named their babies after items in the hospital:
Orangello - named for the Orange Jello she enjoyed while she recuperated from child birth.
Azorbine J.R. - named for the Absorbine Jr pain reliever rubbed on her legs for cramps.
Female - named for the wrist band placed by the staff, pronounced "Fee-moll-ee"
