Some funny stories tend to stick. Tan Sri Vadaketh Chacko George, or V.C. George, remembers an incident many years ago where he and a few friends were at the house of lawyer Stanley Ponniah. While they were having merry drinks, Stanley shooed away the pet dog, going: “Get out, Moreover! Out!”

George and his friends commented on the dog’s unusual name, and Stanley replied that in his household, everyone was named after a Biblical character. And “Moreover”, he added, was the only named dog in the Bible.
