Mrs. Khwarizmi: "Yeah, I'm driving all over, and can't find your office."
Mary: "Okay, we're in Medical Office Tower 6."
Mrs. Khwarizmi: "Yes! That's where I am! But there isn't one marked 6!"
Mary: "We're the building farthest to the east. There's a sign in front that says 'MOT 6'."
Mrs. Khwarizmi: "I must be in the wrong place. The only sign I see just says 'motvi'."
Mary: "Motvi? Wait... Okay, you ARE in the right place. The 'MOT' sign uses Roman numerals."
Mrs. Khwarizmi: "Roman numerals? Damnit, doesn't anyone speak English anymore?"

For years, I thought our dos system at work was MDIV. Imagine my surprise when someone finally said it out loud - "MD-4"
As someone with a degree in mathematics, I love the name you gave her.
Intravenous is really 4?
Then what number is the IJ vein?!?
Ok, I had to find out. Apparently the IJ vein is really the "2" vein.
Bless her heart.
I think Roman numerals are obsolete myself. How long should it take a bad invention to die out?
Yes, Ivan, and tablespoons, and ounces, and minims, pints, drams, gallons the whole lot of it (but maybe not the 'scruples'). (a pharmacist)
Yes, really good choice of names here. I've enjoyed your whimsical names for characters. I think you need to invent a Japanese cardiologist named Dr. Takotsubo.
Those damn Romans. You'd think the Border Patrol would have learned by now from the experiences of most of Europe and the eastern Mediterranean and north Africa, but at this rate it looks like they'll be taking over America too. Oh, well, at least we may finally get some decent roads and bridges.
Hilarious. I recently got a chuckle out of the XXX Olympiad. Made me picture naked gymnasts.
Anyway, it's me, the artist formerly known as Knucklehead. I know we've chatted about my health issues in passing . . . sleep apnea, etc. Well, check out my new blog. There have been some changes.

Was her husband's name Al?
Has trouble with Roman numeral VI; but not the MOT meaning Medical Office Tower?
