From: Mr Happy Back in 02 there was a thread similar to this topic - 'The Funny Business of Names' Iwas going to add to it, but inexplicably, it's closed. Irregardless [which is one've me fave non-words!] I'm iniating this one as I see from latest news that the Japanese government have recently elected a new prime minister. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/7632864.stm His name is, wait for it, Aso - I wonder if it's pronounced Ah so! If so, then almost stereotypically Japanese! More? |

All BS threads are automatically closed once a certain amount of time has passed and no one has posted to them. It's that policy that's inexplicable. |

From: dick greenhaus I recall when someone (my mind blanks on his name) who was running for governor of Massachusetts against an opponent named Endicott Peabody was asked about his opponent. He replied:"My opponent has a major advantage. He has four cities in Massachusetts named after him." The interviewer looked blank, and the candidate explained: "Endicott. Peabody. Marblehead and Athol!" |
