I've always liked paging jokes, although paging has become rare in the digital age. It seems like yesterday I was walking in Stapleton Airport's cavernous terminal listening to airport pages as people hustled from concourse to concourse to make their connection. The pages usually went like this: "Paging Mr. (or Ms.) Doe, Mr. John Doe, please come to an airport information booth or white paging telephone." The joke is to get the page announcer to say a name that sounds like a term or phrase. For example, "Paging Ms. Mejit, Ms. Ima Mejit, Mr. Taychof, Mr. Dewey Taychof, Mrs. Sedilla, Mrs. Kay Sedilla..." and so on. It's a fun turn of phrase that anyone can do.
Here's some of the better ones we could come up with while going over neural anatomy today in homeschool:
Mrs. Bellem, Mrs. Sara Bellem
Mrs. Nal, Mrs. Audrey Nal
Mrs. Ella, Mrs. Pat Ella
Mrs. Crehas, Mrs. Pam Crehas
Mr. Kia, Mr. Trey Kia
Mrs. Emick, Mrs. Ann Emick
Mr. Anin, Mr. Mel Anin
Mr. Enha, Mr. Rhett Enha
Mr. Airhees, Mr. Art Airhees
If you want to try your hand a it, click to comment and add your own. It doesn't have to be medical; just keep it clean. Have fun!
I truly can't remember the last time I heard someone get paged anywhere! Those are really great though and what a fun way to make your anatomy learning fun : ) Next time they need to remember arteries they can just think of Mr. Art Airhees *grin*

Thanks for your comment. It's another one of those blessings of homeschooling. You can make it fun or interesting in lots of different ways, especially if the standard ways just aren't working.
I read this to my daughter when it came through on my RSS the other day. We both laughed fairly well! DH and I went with my dad on his retirement flight - his final flight as a commercial airline pilot. But that required that we hit 8 airports in 32 hours. We did hear quite a few pages but they also had TV screens with the pages flashing on the screens (I guess that keeps them from being mispronounced?). DH and I were watching them and waiting for some funny names - none came. He would have died laughing had you been with us!
Thanks for this post. It's stuck with me. :) Gotta love it!
