Michael, on Wednesday I was in our family doctor's office for my annual. There was some time for small talk, and I asked him if he knew the controversial doctor's name who had treated James Garfield after he was shot. He replied, "No." I said his name was Dr. Doctor Bliss. He said, "Are you kidding?" And it then took about two minutes for me to convince him the doc's real first name was "Doctor." My doc just couldn't believe it.

I guess his parents wanted him to be a physician so they named him such.
