Funny Day

[rhiannon]

This is probably pretty stupid, but I thought I'd share it anyways, so here it goes.

I work for the US Army in Germany, and on the base I work a new housing area will be opened with a big ceremony this Thursday. Part of the ceremony will be the first family moving into the first house.

This family will be - the Tickle Family. Mom, Dad and three children. Today during the rehearsal of the ceremony, everytime the name "the Tickles" or "the Tickle Family" was mentioned, there was at least one person snickering somewhere.

Stupid as hell, but we all had a pretty good time (and I do feel kinda sorry for those three kids! ).

Well, they produce laughter without tickling, just with their names ;-)

There are worse names.

Funny story.

In my early baseball playing days, there was a good pitcher in the league by that name,... threw a knuckleball, as I recall, and just hearing him being announced made me a little self-conscious.

I am imagining what would happen if one of the Tickle children was interested in tickling, and how very strange that would be to a young mind.

"Well, my name is Tickle, and I like tickling. Makes sense. So Mr. Roberts like robbing, and Mrs. Stevens must enjoy people named Steve. . . "

I'm sure there is lots of stuff like this out in the world. I happen to know someone with a very serious foot-fetish who's last name is Foot...

And I'm sure Rhiannon can confirm that Kuntz is a fairly common German surname...

I don't know anybody with that name, but yes.

But. . . But what if Herr Kuntz is gay? Would that mess with his psyche?

Frau Kuntz, to be specific!

I knew a guy whose last name was one letter away from being "Buttvirus". We just never brought it up to him.

You know the old saying, "your name is your fate".

Having Tickle as a surname must be interesting. Who knows , perhaps the parents are already members :-D.
