When my dad had his cancer surgery, the surgeon was a lovely Irish gentleman. My mom introduced herself.
"How do you do, Dr. Buckley, I'm Mrs [redacted]”
"How do you do”
"My grandmother was from Ireland, the midlands”
"What was her maiden name?”
"Herzog”
"yes, that's a midlands name"
"I also have a bit of English in me”
"Oh. That’s…too bad”
