Remember if you’re out at a store and someone says “This is a robbery” you can say “no it’s not” and then the robber will leave because theyre a robber and this is no longer a robbery .
You can not just say this without dropping the whole story
Ok so,
My dads coworker is at the front and this man comes Up and hands him a document.
The coworker took a Look at the document and while he couldn’t read the things written by Hand, because he wasn’t wearing his glases, he did notice the Logo of a different Bank so he’s like:
“Oh, sorry sir you can’t do that here! You have to go to the other Bank for this :)”
The man, visibly confused leaves, but dosen’t take the document with him.
The coworker, now just as confused as the Guy actually Takes Out his glases and reads the hand written part:
I collect weird Quaker names (it’s a long story). And while Preservèd Fish is probably the best, there are a lot of close contenders.
See, Quaker women sometimes used their maiden names for their sons’ first names. This led to a bunch of unusual first names, like Warner or Sharpless or Dillwyn. But the absolute winner of this category has to be CoffinPitts, whose mother I imagine had to be a member of the well-known Coffin family.
But that’s not all!
Quakers (like some other Protestant groups) sometimes used virtues as first names for their children, often girls, which gives us the amazing names Freedom, Remembrance, & Restore Lippincott (brothers),Thankful Thayer, increase Woodward, Content Hussey, Experience Field, and Experience Burt Merrick,which I can’t help reading as a command.
