Once upon a time, on a sunny Arizona highway, a patrol officer spotted a speeding Harley Davidson and decided to pull it over. With a friendly smile, the officer asked the biker for his name.
“Just Fred”, came the simple reply.
The officer, feeling lenient, thought about giving a warning instead of a ticket. But curiosity got the better of him, and he pressed for a last name.
The biker explained that he once had one but had lost it.
Intrigued, the officer played along, asking: “Fred, how did you lose your last name?”
And so, Fred launched into his tale. He began as Fred Johnson, putting in hard work to excel in academics. Determined to become a doctor, he pushed through college, medical school, internship, and residency, earning his MD with pride.
But the thrill of being a doctor eventually wore off, and Fred decided to switch gears. He set his sights on dentistry, earning his DDS degree, making him Fred Johnson, MD, DDS. However, a reckless affair led to a case of VD, complicating his title to Fred Johnson, MD, DDS, with VD.
His professional woes compounded when the dental association learned of his indiscretion, stripping him of his DDS. Now he was Fred Johnson, MD, with VD. To make matters worse, the medical association followed suit, revoking his MD due to the VD, leaving him as Fred Johnson with the VD.
And then, the VD itself took away his surname, leaving him with nothing but “Just Fred”.
