Last week I visited my local pharmacy to have an Rx filled and was directed to a waiting area where I took a seat next to a man similarly waiting. After a few minutes I thought I heard my name called and I rose and my neighbor did likewise and we stood on line together. Not sure that I heard correctly I said to him "I think they called my name." He said his name was SMITH - I said that is my name also - he was David - I am Thomas. I am glad that we avoided any mix-up as I feared he would receive my pills and I would get his Viagra which I didn't need to cure my malady. And I think he had a later date of birth. My surname has caused problems in restaurants and motels but this was a first for pharmacys. I could change my name but those five letters fit so neatly on the marquee.
