    Who is this Patricia Elly will angrily ask John after that late-night eureka.

    Just in case you were wondering. John’s Grade 10 girlfriend Patricia (Patsy) O’Connor previously mentioned in the comic link above. As for whether all those other names are also John Patterson’s ex-girlfriends, I could not tell you.

    I met a woman that I used to work with, I remembered her name, but got the place we worked wrong. She looked at me funny when I mentioned the place she never heard of. Hey, one out of two is okay!

    Horrible timing on that one, John. Better just tell Elly it was a bad dream, and Patricia is some monster that was in it.

    Why does the “Aha moment” always wait until the middle of the night?

    That was a thought better left unspoken.

    Well, at least they weren’t having a intimate moment when it hit him and he yelled out another womans name.

    Hey, my name is in John’s thought guesses! No one in my entire school system when I was growing up, had my first name. I do think that Patricia is a pretty name, but that one isn’t mine. All the more traditional names from the 50’s aren’t used anymore. If someone called out “oh, Mary!”, 20 girls would turn around. I wouldn’t have, though.

    I always had a hard time associating names with faces. It has lead to numerous embarrassing moments, through the years. It gets worse as I age.

    The older I get, the more this happens. I’ve tried to explain it to my kids, What’s his name, and The Girl

    Seriously; that happened to me yesterday. And yes the name came in the middle of the night. Funny how the brain does that!

    If Elly is so insecure that this is a problem, she needs therapy.

    Due to how my life worked out at the end of grade 8 I lost track of just about everyone I went to primary school with, same thing at the end of high school. Now I get random people walking up to me all the time who all seem to know me and I haven’t got the faintest idea who they are. Many of them I haven’t seen in over 30 years when they reintroduce themselves. I matured young, haven’t grown, except wider, since I was about 13 years old so apparently I still strongly resemble my younger self where as most of them were still growing, maturing when I last saw them.

    Definitely the WRONG place to blurt out another woman’s name. :P
