One of our news local news stations recently had a citizen speaking his opinion; his last name was "Assman". Yep, A-S-S-M-A-N, and he had to be th "butt" of many jokes. I.e. No doubt his wife’s maiden name was "Butts"; he is a good golfer, hitting a hole-in-one often; his favorite derogatory expression is "ass wipe"; his nickname is "buddy", and his life must be is crapper.

     But, how would you like to introduce Mr. Assman’s whole family to some one? " Hello, I would like to introduce you to Mr. Assamn; his wife Rosie; his three sons, Boomer, Polk and Peter.

     Of course, there are other names that might be changed. Names like Lipchitz. Could you say, "Hi. My name is Buddy Lipchitz ". Does that ring of a gentleman of high esteem. Or the last name Fuchs, pronounced "few-ckes with a French sound. Imagine registering at a hotel desk as Dick Fuchs. The desk clerk would read Mr. Fuchs’ signature, then responds  "Certainly, Mr. Fuchs. Your room is ready for you, and I know what you’ll be doing tonight."

     Then if someone asks for his name, he says "Fuchs"…. And the comeback is,
"…. Sure. And so does my life".
