Say My Name, Say My Name

A Rosh Hashanah exchange at the health club:
"Happy New Year, hon."
"Shana tova, Susan."
"Again with Susan?"
"Sorry. Short Jewish Woman."
"Short Jewish Gal."
"Right."
"How long have we known each other?"
"A long time?"
"Over 20 years."
"That long? Wow."
"You know my name isn't Susan, right?"
"Um."
"That's my middle name. I'm Carol Susan."
"You look more like a Susan."
"Then by all means, keep calling me Susan."
"It'll make it simpler for me."
"Fine. I may not answer. But if it it makes you happy, go for it."
"Thank you. That's very kind."
"I'm a giver."
"You really are, Susan."
"Bye, Gladys."
"Gladys?"
"Do you prefer Muriel? Or Mary Lou? Your pick."
"Let's stay with Gladys."
"Oh, I will."
