National Nurses Week Manikin Naming Contest
What’s in a name?
Area man(ikin) says, “Only a dummy would tell.”
BUFFALO, NY - UB campus security spotted an unidentified man(ikin) lounging in Wende Hall Monday.
When asked to identify himself, the man(ikin), wearing trendy gray athletic wear, refused to reveal his legal name.
When campus authorities pressed the man(ikin) to show his identification, he refused. He then replied that his name was “Manny Quinn” before escaping toward Beck Hall. The School of Nursing maintains that this name is an alias.
Help us name this man(ikin) to win!
