    GP> I prefer female medical staff, too.   
      
     And, as long as someone qualified takes care of me, I don't care who   
   it is, let alone the color of their skin. We pee the same yellow, poop   
   the same brown, and bleed the same red.   
      
     When I was working for Burger King over 40 years ago, many nights, I   
   was the only white person on the crew...and we had a ball!!    
      
    GP> I prefer/accept any who actually look at me when talking to me.   
      
     That shows they're interested in your care.   
      
    GP> I like the guy who had a snap on set of lips & face mask he'd put on an   
    GP> audience member to mnake him say things to embarrass himself. . . :D   
      
     Todd Oliver and Nina Conti have done that...and I think Paul Zerden has   
   as well.   
      
    GP> Good sports, mainly.  Including one guy who dceclarted in his weird   
    GP> puppet voice, "I feel like dancing." & the ventriloquist told him to go   
    GP> ahead & askedf the audience to clap to encourage him.   
      
    GP> He did some sort of something, involving shuffling his feet to an   
    GP> unheard rhythm.   
      
     Darci Lynn Farmer (who just turned 16), did a deal at a theater in   
   Oklahoma City, with her "old lady", Edna Doorknocker (there's a name   
   for you ). Edna wanted to sing, and Darci said "Without me, you don't   
   sing"...and Edna replied "Without me, you don't have a college fund!!".   
   It brought the house down in laughter. Well, Edna started rocking and   
   rolling and dancing, and Darci acted like she was very embarrassed.    
      
     Before that, she admonished Edna "Don't you know that kissing a man   
   that young could be fatal??", and Edna responded, "Well, if he dies...   
   he dies!!".  When Darci chided Edna, she asked Darci "Don't you   
   know that life is mind over matter??". When Darci asked what that was   
   supposed to mean, Edna replied "If they don't mind, it don't matter!!".    
      
    GP> So wth are we supposed to call them?!   
      
     Ventriloquial figures is the technical term, but it's easier to call   
   them "dummies". Yet, ventriloquism is not as easy as it looks.
