In my long-haired youth, I had a friend named Bob Latter. Since he was short, he naturally acquired the nick-name "Step". We also had the habit of calling a grim situation a "Bumer", pronounced BYOO'-mer , kind of a play on bummer. When Step's girlfriend got pregnant, he was a reluctant father, and insisted on naming his daughter Steppanie Bumer Latter. She grew up to be a beautiful woman with all of her Mom's class, and most of her Dad's sense of humor.

Mom had a proctologist named Dr. Asman (pre-destination?) I also have a regular customer last name Duck, first name (you guessed it) Donald. And the poor bastard in my High School Home Room, Dickey Short."Robinson,Tom[here!]...Sears, Judy [here!]...Short, Dickey [general laughter]
