When I worked downtown I parked in a garage two blocks away
and walked the two blocks to the office. One snowy day this woman I worked with
named Sue fell on the ice while crossing Jefferson Avenue. The fall broke her
arm. When she came back to work she was awarded the nickname (you guessed it) “Sue
Falls”. That nickname stuck to her like one of those “My Name Is” blue name
tags you wear at big meetings (and then a person calls you by your name when
you stop at the Party Store on the way home and you can’t figure out how that guy
knows you and you rack your brain trying to figure it out. Then you get home
and see the name tag on your shirt.)
Sue kept that nickname ‘til she filed the lawsuit. Now she’s
knows as “Sue City”.
