- I have been looking through my email files lately and made a discovery...
-
- "Smith" and "Jones" appear to be names as common as they are portrayed in
- many stereotypes...These names are also portrayed in such a way as to invoke
- images of averageness or dullness.
-
- To all the Smiths and Joneses in my files:
-
- Thank you for destroying a stereotype and killing some myths about your
- last names...At least in my imagination.
-
- YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!
-
- Now I feel as if *my* name is common!!! :+)
