Reply #153: After one dead aunt and one dying [View All]

[LibertyLover]

One of my father's sisters had died shortly before I was born and his other sister had been diagnosed with leukemia. This was in 1953 so the cancer thing wasn't good. So, I got named after both of them. And since one of them had my mom's middle name, I was also named after my mom. The one aunt actually only had an infection and lived for 25 or so more years. My name starts with Mary, and because of that over the years places where I've worked have assumed that I am a former nun. One time I was working late copying documents that I needed to make securities filings. The copier was being annoying and jamming on me. I informed it of my opinion of it in fairly obscene terms. A partner who was walking by heard me and professed himself shocked that 'someone with my background would use language like that'. I asked him what he meant and he said that since I was a former nun he wouldn't think I'd know or use bad language. After I stopped laughing, I informed him that I was not a former nun and was no longer Catholic, but a good pagan. He walked off shaking his head. :7
