so john and sherlock are at their wedding ceremony, and sherlock, idiotically in all his planning, forgot to inform the celebrant not to say his full name. so when she says, “john hamish watson, do you take william sherlock scott holmes to be your husband,” sherlock bites down on his tongue, john bursts into fits of giggles, and all their guests, bar the holmes family, are sitting shocked like “his name is william???????”
One afternoon, Stephen Colbert came in to the office. His show was about to premiere so he hadn’t spent much time in our studio. As he walked past me at my cubicle, he stopped and said, “You’re a new face, what’s your name?” I didn’t know what to really say, so I replied, “Oh, I’m just an intern.”
Colbert looked at me a moment and then said: “Just an intern? Hey, look, everybody starts somewhere. I was just an understudy at one point, but that’s just a point in time. It’s not about where you are now, or even where you hope to go, it’s who you are that matters. I’m Stephen, who are you?” I introduced myself and we shook hands. “Don’t let your place in the world dictate who you are to anyone. We all have the same merit.” Then he was gone, but his words lingered.
