[lit-ideas] Re: From today's paper

I knew a family when I was a kid at Church -- the Dad was Joe, the Mom
Joan.  They had seven kids.  For reasons which have never become clear to
me, the parents decided to name them as follows:  Joleene, Joanne, Joseph,
Joe Jr., JoAllen, Joella, and Jodine.

For verification I can send you a copy of the Church Directory.
