    I did purchase a mattress from him when he worked at Sleep Country...glad to see he likes to work in the bedding industry given his name. (I have his biz card somewhere-had to keep it it was so funny)

    I was selling my son's jeep he wrecked,for part's.
    One day an Asian Woman came to my door and
    inquired about said jeep,She said she would relay info.
    to her husband and call me later.I asked to write her name down
    for reference. She replied,"Sum Chit" I'm sorry,but I worked
    really hard not to crack-up. "Excuse Me, What was the name again?"
    Sum Chit she replied. " Could you please spell that for me?"
    And the Chit saying's we came up with over that one. :D:lol:

    this is one of my customers (pretty good- ordered 129 dozen brushes last fiscal year):
    http://www.healthgrades.com/dentist/dr- ... agot-2fr56

    and he has no shame.

    "david, this is dr. fagot, i need some toothbrushes."

    gotta hand it to him for not changing his name.

    My wife has always liked the name Tate. This weekend she realized that is sounds too much like taint....due to the fact that my buds and I always reference taint jokes/ comments. She no longer wants to name a kid Tate.

    I would never name my son Oskar or my daughter Astrid, even though I like both names. But Oskar can be shortened to Ossi and Astrid to Assi. In Germany, you are a Ossi if you are from Eastern Germany (east is "Ost" in German) and Assis are a-socials, lowlifes, people who live on welfare money and don't give a shit.

    Seriously! There are kids named Ekho, Xiana (pronounced Sienna :roll: ), Kasch (pronounced Cash :roll: ), Ema, tyree, Aeryn, (pronounced Erin :roll: ), Xoxia (pronounced Sosha :roll: ) etc. All in one building! Ridiculous. I'm not wanting to make fun of kids here, I love my job, but the parents... :nono:

    But [Astrid] can be shortened to Assi.

    There will be the inevitable 'ass turd' issue as well
