A lady was having a baby so she went to the
hospital. When she had it the nurse asked her what was his
name so the lady said, " Leroy."
Nurse: "Do you have any other children?"
Lady: "Yes"
Nurse: "How many?"
Lady: "Seven"
Nurse: "What are their names?"
Lady: "Leroy."
Nurse: "Are they all named Leroy? How do you get one of
them to do something?"
Lady: "If I ask one to do something then they all do it."
Nurse: "But how do you get to speak to one alone?"
Lady: "I call them by their last names."
