In Las Vegas I had a doctor by the name of Dr. Dye. I picked him out of the phone book and I choose him because I thought to myself that the poor guy probably doesn't get many patients with a name like that. He was a great doctor and we became friends. Years before that I had a friend name Dr. Cureall.

I noticed you blatantly left out Proctologists!

I had a good name but it was a stinker compared to your list, so I decided to pass on it!

You crack (get it) me up TJ!!

JoJo - now if this was Snake I would be insisting on websites to back up your entries!! Now do you swear that you haven't used a little creative licence here?

Great list anyway .... I know that you won't have pulled a fast one

Sue, I swear that I didn't make any of them up and the two doctors that I said I knew are for real, honest.
