William Perks of the Rolling Stones
Thank you all for your comments on this blog - it's always good to get them, even if you disagree with me (heaven forbid!)
Silverback points out that the hospital staff can't really be blamed for calling the Communist "Ronald" since that is indeed his name - and it's a good point that Ronald is the name that's written on all the documents and, indeed, above his bed.
What I want is a place on all the forms for "What first name is does the patient prefer to be called?" and then two names above the bed:
NORMA JEAN MORTENSEN
known as MARILYN
REGINALD DWIGHT
known as ELTON
GORDON SUMNER
known as STING
HARRY LILLIS CROSBY
known as BING
(such a shame Sting and Bing will never be in adjoining beds)
PRISCILLA WHITE
known as CILLA
CHARLES HARDIN HOLLEY
known as BUDDY
ROBERT ALLEN ZIMMERMANN
known as BOB
(getting more tricky now)
DEMETRIA GENE GUYNES
known as DEMI
FLORIAN CLOUD DE BOUNEVIALLE ARMSTRONG
known as DIDO
CAMILLE JAVAL
known as BRIGITTE
FARROKH BULSARA
known as FREDDIE
ALFRED HAWTHORNE HILL
known as BENNY
MARGARET HILDA THATCHER
known as FLUFFYKINS (ah, sweet revenge)
Now, how difficult is that? It's just that nobody's thought to put it into practice, have they?
