“My name is not Tobias. I use that name only when I want someone to remember me. In this case, the bartender. I introduced myself and typed out my name when I first walked in and ordered a drink.

She will remember me anyway, because how many deaf guys could she have slept with?”
― Samantha Downing, My Lovely Wife
