                         Name Please! 636

    Good friends of our family recently had a new
    born baby girl. Mother and child got along fine but
    they ran into a slight problem...The hospital said they
    could not leave until they had named the babe.

   (We can just imagine what went on...The names have 
   been changed to protect the guilty.)

   Mary: "This is terrible, John, maybe we could
   sneak out around midnight."

   John: "Sorry, but I've been told they double the 
   security forces after visiting hours."

    Mary: "John, you're the president of a bank, you're
    intelligent, think of something!"

    John; "Well, she was a couple of days late, we could
    always name her "Over Due."

    Mary: "Very funny. I think I'll cry. I want to
   go home to Mother. You stay here with the baby."

   John: "I know, why don't we name her 6-9-79 for
   the days she was born?"

   Mary: They want a name, not a number."

   John: "How about "Spring Delight" or Daylight 
   Savings Time.'"

    Mary: "A first and middle name, that's all we need."

    John: "Why don't we let her last name be used also 
   for her first and middle names. That way, she'll never
   have to worry about whether her first or last name comes 
   first when filing out a job application or loan form?"

   (The last time we talked with Mary on the phone, no
   name had been decided upon, but a Coleman stove had   
   been smuggled in, and light housekeeping was underway.)
