Speaking of Poor Children 

I just received an email at work for a .NET Developers Conference at the local Microsoft office in Waukesha. The mail was sent from the president of the Wisconsin .NET users group. His name? Brian Tinkler. His grade school years must have been particularly difficult. That's almost as bad a local race car driver who drove in NASCAR for a long time. His name? Dick Trickle.

This of course reminds me of someone my sister Karen knew in high school. His name? Tim Burr. Imagine your mother yelling that name down the street as a child. Speaking of sisters... my sister Sarah almost had a very unfortunate name according to my mother. Sorry Sarah, but I have to share this. Her full name is Sarah Amy Schweitzer (yes... she is married now... but for affect you need her maiden name). What was her original name going to be? Amy Sarah Schweitzer. Great initials huh? Talk about a near miss.

Why do parents do that to their children this way?
