    How about a couple of surnames? I knew a guy in college named Coyle (close to coyly), and I have a friend named Quick (quickly). This post was edited by Stu Spelling Bee at September 29, 2017 11:41 AM MDT

    I purposefully excluded surnames as possible answers.

    So that's where you were for three weeks. Give it a little more time. They say anal-retention blockers can take a while to kick in.

    Randolph D (a concerned friend): "Doctor, when will Lyrical be ready for release from the asylum, when will she be ready to mix with regular members of society?"

    Psychiatric Specialist: "These extreme cases of mental instability are very difficult to predict.  Your friend has a sharp mind and a quick wit, but that doesn't mean her psychosis isn't severe, no quite the opposite, I'm afraid.  She hasn't shown sufficient progress to warrant being discharged from custody, but the daily regimen of jell-o and bingo games in the recreation room seem to thrill her.  Let's keep her here for further observation before making a rash decision that we might later regret, say six more months.  Yes, that should just about do it."

    And dont forget:
    Jakob E (another concerned friend): "When will Randy recover from his delusion that he is a "Psychiatric Specialist" ?

    Psychiatrist: "It could happen when he realizes that "Psychiatric Specialist" is not a proper job description (A Bricklayer specializing in Bricklaying ?)
    Unfortunately there are complications, his abhorrence of grammatical errors would probably send him into shock and cause him to vehemently deny the existence of any error.

    Jake, ol' pal, you should read for comprehension.  I never intimated that I was the specialist.  I intimated that I was conversing with the specialist.
