#100 The Pope has it but he does not use it. Your father has it but your mother uses it. Nuns do not need it. Your lady friend's husband has it and she uses it. What is it? That would be a "Last name" All married women I know use their husband's last name, all the people "married to Jezus" - like the pope and the nuns - don't use theirs. |
