Ralph wasn't a very good medical student and had a poor bedside manner in med school. But he decided to go into anesthesiology when he realized he 'rocked' the final exam.

Ralph eventually became dissatisfied with his medical career and left to set up a lucrative business manufacturing knockout drops.

Ralph had rock hard evidence that he was qualified for the job.

Yes, very true. After the 'Stone Age' though, his remaining family branched out into a different type of knockout drops - alcohol. They made beer:

And blended whiskey:

And in Ralph's honor, came up with drinks, "On-the-Rocks":

It is little known fact that one of Ralph's descendants, who had a gift for automotive engineering, drew on their ancient family theme and designed a car engine that rocked the industry.
