Back when I was in school teachers would always scare me with stories of how my exploits would end up in my permanent record. I believe this is it! – Geoff Fox
Over time, more and more people have taken to calling me Mr. Fox. It’s a little disturbing, because I don’t want to be that old.
I usually tell them, “My name is Geoff. Mr Fox lives in a condo in Florida.”
Of course Mr. is the least of the titles you can have with your name. You could be Dr., or Rev., or Senator, or… well the list is nearly endless.
A few years ago, while perusing the British Airways website I came across their choice of titles. I saw the list cited today on another website and thought I’d post it here – just for fun.
Some are so obscure, I have no idea what they could possibly be. I do know, few holders of these titles will ever be flying with me in Row 39, aft of the wing.
Just a minute ago Helaine was trying to makes sure she and Steffie were registered with United Airlines frequent flier program. They’re flying to the Midwest in February and we’ve found getting miles, even when you think you’ll never accrue enough to count, is a good thing. Sometimes, it even pays off.
She went to the page where you establish an online account, entered her name and pulled down the menu to get the prefix “Mrs.” entered. I was looking over her shoulder and was astounded by the myriad choices available.
If you are a Swami, United has you covered!
I have taken the liberty of putting the dropdown menu at the bottom of this entry, on the left. It doesn’t connect anywhere so click away. It’s fun to see the choices available. My recommendation was to make Steffie a Baroness. I was voted down. What about Duchess?
