May 25, 2001 - 2:55 pm Know what might be a good idea? I'm thinking if everyone wore shirts with their names on them, it might make the world a better place. At the very least, maybe we should institute mandatory nametags. To illustrate, imagine how much worse the following conversations would be without the use of names: Jack: Frank, you asshole! You just cut me off! Frank: I'm sorry, Jack. Or... Phil: This is the police! Get down on the ground, Bob! Bob: You got it, Phil, old chum. See? Nice, right? Or... Herbert: That was some good sex, Tim. Tim: Sure was, Herb. Sure was. I really think this would make the world a better place. There might be a lot less violence. Then again, if you were a guy named Francis, people might just go ahead and beat you up on principle. And they would be right. I'll be in Cleveland tomorrow. Let's see if I update.
