The second Catholic mother chirps "Well, my son is a Bishop, whenever he walks into a room people say 'Your Grace'." The third mother says smugly "Well, not to put you down but my son is a Cardinal. Whenever he walks into a room, people say 'Your Emincence'." The fourth Catholic mother sips her coffee in silence. The first three women give her this subtle 'Well... ?'

Band Name Origins:
- It is true that the band is named after Jon, but he never changed his name (officially) to "Bon Jovi". Submitted by: Hannah
- Jon's last name is Bongiovi. So they mixed it up a little and became "Bon Jovi" and personally i have always wondered if this has caused any onimosity within the band. Evidently not, they've been together 20 years or whatever. But they rock! Submitted by: Sydney
Performer Pseudonyms:
Also known as: John Francis Bongiovi Jr. . Submitted by: Bill Tong

I'm sorry but that's so weird that I don't even want to think of that option! Besides isn't this streching the Mother-Myth a bit too far, I mean mothers and fathers can be equally close to a child... Way to go Jon!
