I wrote a joke on the chalkboard at Miller’s Bar. (They count on me to do that, and ask me what’s wrong if I don’t.) Instead of Oliver Faltz, my usual pseudonym, I signed it Anita Nothershot. When the dayshift barkeep got off work, she used a cell phone to call the bar and ask for Anita Nothershot. Several customers, hearing the name called, cried “Over here!”

A few times I have called a bar where I knew my friend was hanging out and asked for her by the nickname I gave her. Too bad I wasn’t there to witness the bartender calling out “Is Buckwheat here?” and my friend sheepishly coming to the phone.
