Why Dennis is a dentist...
According to Discover Magazine, studies suggest that people are disproportionately likely to live in cities or to choose careers that resemble their own name.For example, men named Phil living in Philadelphia or dentists named Dennis or Denise.
I hear there's a Sue Island in Australia and a Susanville in the USA...

Re: Why Dennis is a dentist...
I worked for an insurance company many moons ago. There were a couple of people named Death on their books and I got put in my place by the under manager..."it is pronounced De'Ath my dear"!!
When typing letters, the initials of the sender with the date were used for reference. We had a PEE, a MAD, an EAR and a PO.
Strange how these things stick in your mind
