This iReport is part of an assignment:
Do you have a unique name? |
Talk about odd
Fortunetaly, or unfortunately these are and were never my names. While I was in bootcamp, there was a recruit, whose last name was Guzzler, and when you get in the Navy, you are always referred to by your rank then your name, so he was Seaman Guzzler. Poor guy. I swear this was true, he wasn't in my division, but he did his time cranking in the galley.
Now I know thats just a last name, so I wanted to save this name for last cause it's the greatest. I also met this guy while I was in the Navy. His last name was Salter. Not such a horribly big deal right? until you found out his first name, Richard. Yes some sick people Named thier son Richard, with the last name of Salter. Richard Salter, doesn't sound too bad until you hear referances to Richard Nixon, or "Tricky Dick" as they called him. Dick is short for Richard, and so we called him Dick Salter. Not too too bad right? I mean embarrassing yes, but not horrible, until you got to his middle name. Anthony. Now Richard Anthony Salter, sounds very decent, until you give it to submariners, then it becomes Dick Salter, or Richard A. Salter. whoa, whold on a second, Richard A Salter? hmmmm, now we talked about the variations of hims first name, so we called him Dick A. Salter, but in introduction, his full name was Starcrunch! the Dick A. Salter! he loved those lil debbie cookie cake things. Poor guy. He'll never live that name down. But he did get married to Angel. . . . .but that's a differant story all together.
