Just like the game, Mad Gab say "65 roses" over and over and eventually you will hear "Cystic Fibrosis" Now that I have programmed your brain to hear it, that is probably they first thing you will think of when or if you see or hear someone say, "Cystic Fibrosis".
In the 60's a woman who was working for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation was making phone calls to businesses, organizations, and people. Her job was just that to make phone calls from home trying to raise money for CF research. One day while making phone calls one of her 3 boys, who all had CF. Told her he knew who she worked for and she was shocked. Her son did not know he even had a disease or what CF was, so she asked him who she was working for and he simply told her it was "65 Roses". She of course cried and emotions were everywhere, then agreed with him, that yes she worked for 65 roses.
In 19'65' oddly the CFF has had a trademark of '65 roses' and has been an easier way for Cystics to refer to their disease. Very few people have heard of this or they have but don't know the story behind it.
So there's my little educational cute blog for the day!
Always Smile,
