Thread Name: BS: the funny business of names
Subject: RE: BS: the funny business of names
An Australian friend of mine named Tony was on a camping trip with a couple of friends. Sitting on logs around the campfire, chatting idly, one of them remarked that 'tony' is another word for being somewhat highbrow or even pretentious.

Tony was taken aback and thought about it for a minute then said, 'Well, I think I'd rather be tony than to be like you two: Rob and Sue.'
