Don Cherry cails me by 'tram MAYBE on page 12 1 try to, remember namnes. 1 really do. But, because I've made so many mistakes in the past, 1 try to avoid using them. A bunch of times I've called hockey player fathers by their kid's namne. 1 did it recently. 'How you doing Chris?- I said to Cbris's father. "You mean Brian.-"O0f course. what did 1 say?" You sce? 1 had tri pretend il was just a slip of the longue. So, its better flot to include the naine. When i get called by the wrong naine, I generally dont correct the person. I think it's furnay. After six years in the Hockey Night in Canada studio for the playoffs, Don Cherry ail of a sudden started calling me Mark. So, 1 just referred to myseif as Mark for a week or so. One guy, who I knew wben 1 was a teenager working in a warebouse, had the perfect solution to the naine problem. He called everybody Steve. 1 neyer knew bis naine, and 1 neyer bad to. 1 just called bim Steve, ton. Pretty soon, most everybody was calling everybody cisc Steve. Even when people wear naine tags it's flot that helpful because you have to look at the tag when you're talking to then and tbey know you dont remember their naine. Maybe wbat I should do is every time I meet a person, 1 sing the Namne Game Song. You know the one: Murray Murray Bn Bun-y. Banana-hana Bn Burry. Fi Fie Fo Furr... Murray. That's gond for evcry naine but one. Failing that. 1I mîgbt ust stan calling everybody Steve. 1N'[ ER N A T 0NA L COSMETIC AND LASER CENTRE SINCE 1980 Formerly Central Electrolysîs and Laser clinic Pleased to 0f fer excellence in: e Laser Hair Removal t e Electrolysis e Vascular Blemish Removal e Skin Tag Removal i e Dermatoogical Peels e Mcrodermabrasion e Botox & Restylane Cati for your( FREE CONSULTATION 905-878-9113 13 Charles St. Milton, Ontario Advertorial Opening May i 2th!
