This person never knew the advantages to having an uncommon last name. (Mine's an Americanized spelling of a French spelling of a Basque name):
*phone rings* Telemarketer: Hello is mister *confused pause* (something not even close to my last name) available?
Me: Nope. *click*
The only notable problem -- there's only 8 of us left in the US with this last name, so I can't deny all those embarassing things on the internet, or even blame my twin brother, like I can for things in person.
(there are a few alternate spellings in the Ellis Island records, but as best I can tell, there aren't any left in the US)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
