I was poked and prodded and drained today at the doctor's office. She didn't quite remember me from last month's appointment at first, until I mentioned earwax, which made her smile. I'm Mr. Earwax.

This is rather amusing, but I'm not sure the "parody" excuse is going to fly, long term.

I voted in the primary yesterday. I haven't heard who won. The old ladies at the sign-in table remembered me by name and one of them called me "Sweetheart". So the doctor who Roto-Rootered my head last month didn't remember me, but poll workers recall me from last November? It's a strange world.
