Hey don't feel bad... All those guys here are "sirs" or "mr" to me (and ladies Ma'ams or Ms. or Mrs)... Except for Frenchy... He is Monsieur.

I come from the family where I had to call everyone by mr. or mrs. (enter Last name) until they told me it is ok to call them by their first name...

So until I die ParamedicPete will be Mr. ParamedicPete or Sir ParamedicPete.

On the internet, no one knows you're a dog.

Don't know how old you are unless you tell me. You shouldn't care how old I am (and don't ask :-).

Welcome to the Internet, the ultimate meritocracy.

I thought the old saying in the bars was "At closing time, everyone looks pretty".

I thought the saying was : "at night all cats are grey".
Then the real question is : "why do they drink so much ????"

Frenchy:

The answer to the reason they drink too much is so that they can convince themselves the guy they are letting pick them up is actually good-looking. <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

The Internet is very much like a street full of bars. Doug and Chris run a nice place. Much better than
some I've been in.

Ever heard the following? It's about Usenet news, but could easily apply to the entire Internet.

Quote:
"Usenet is like a herd of performing elephants with diarrhea --massive, difficult to redirect,
awe-inspiring, entertaining, and a source of mind-boggling amounts of excrement when you
least expect it." --Gene Spafford, 1992

Frenchy:

Many of us in our youthful ignorance always hoped bar would lead to bare.

I don't know about France, but many places in the USA use the poem; "Candies dandy, but liquor's quicker".

Thank you Matt.

Sir Paramedicpete, that is a first. Kind of like the sound of that bestowed title. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

But plain old Pete (my mother still has a cow <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> every time she hears Pete, not Peter) is fine.

Whenever I am referred to as Mr., I always think of my Dad <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />, not myself. I think like many we know we are getting older in body <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> but are still young in mind and spirit and do not think of ourselves as a Mr <img src="/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />.

My oldest daughter recently became engaged, her fianc?e wrestled with how to refer to me <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />, just as I did with my In-laws. I told him to call me by my first name, as that is how I think of myself.

I usually tell my wife?s Scouts to refer to me as Mr. G or Mr. Pete <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />, keeping it simple yet maintaining some degree of respect towards adults.


What?s in a name/title?

The first time I went to, Ecuador they introduced me as a Doctor of Paramedic Medicine <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />. It seems the title stuck down there, as most times I am introduced as Doctor despite my attempts to correct <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />. The doctors I travel with keep telling me not to worry regarding any false impressions, as I am performing the same work as they. My partners still kid me to this day <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />.

Pete
