A woman walks into the Liverpool Benefits Office, trailed by 15 kids...

"WOW!" the Benefits Advisor exclaims, "Are they ALL yours?"

"Yeah they are all mine"' the flustered mother sighs, having heard that
question a thousand times before. She says, "Sit down Terry." All the
children rush to find seats.

"Well", says the Advisor, "then you must be here to sign up. I'll
need all your children's names"

"This one's my oldest - he is Terry"

"OK, and who's next?"

"Well, this one he is Terry, also"

The Advisor raises an eyebrow but continues. One by one, through the
oldest four, all boys, all named Terry. Then she is introduced to the
eldest girl, named Terri. "All right" says the caseworker. "I'm seeing a
pattern here. Are they ALL named Terri?"

Their Mother replied, "Well, yes, it makes it easier. When it is time to get
them out of bed and ready for school, I yell, 'Terry!' An'
when it's time for dinner, I just yell 'Terry!' an' they all come
runnin.' An' if I need to stop the kid who's running into the street, I
just yell 'Terry' and all of them stop. It's the smartest idea I ever had,
namin' them all Terry."

The Advisor thinks this over for a bit, then wrinkles her forehead
and says tentatively, "But what if you just want ONE kid to come, and not
the whole bunch?"

"Then I call them by their surnames!"
