If you went to school with a kid called Norman who was a real bore, the odds are that you'll go through life thinking every Norman is duller than a CNN Christmas party. The names of the fools you met back then will effect the way you vote, what you christen your kids and who you end up begging them not to marry. Ever met a smart Wilbur? How about Kylie? She's not working at that checkout because Nuclear Physics was full. Brian is a sad name because a Brian will mean well but he doesn't quite spell Brain and Cliff can only be the product of parents with a Lemming fixation. I met an Angus the other day who was the victim of abbreviation. Angus is the name of a red bearded Scottish chieftain. Gus on the other hand is the name of a duck or even worse, a duck's sidekick I'd like to leave you with this quote from a friend of mine who's a midget: "Be very careful with names, they're with you for the rest of your life"...Tad Short.
