Hi Ted

Hi Foot.  Haaave you met Mouth?  My Left Foot (heh) and Mouth are becoming very chummy.  At Nicole's stew party on Friday night, the five of us sat around her dining table for a delicious meal.  I had just one name to be responsible for, having met everyone else in the intimate crowd.  Just one name.  How do you think Brain did?   

Kevin: We're lucky in that John and I-

Moi: Wait, who's John?

(the entire table breaks out laughing.  the only other guy at the table, sitting to my right, raises his hand.  "Hi.  I'm John.")

In my defense, I thought he was talking about a different John.  Churches are chock full of Johns (not to be confused with johns).  But even though I stand by that logic, I must admit that it sounds ridiculous.  My head has become entirely incapable of storing proper names.  Good thing I got out of chemistry when I did.
