My name's too rude for MS Passport | |

thought your organ might be interested in this: I have just found (another) subtle flaw in Microsoft's Passport system. Some of us are in the unfortunate position of having the surname "Woodcock". This may (and I would expect it to) raise a giggle. In fact, I thought there was no original way left for me to feel really narked off with my forebear that decided "Hey, Woodcock is a really good name". He might have been a purveyor of prosthetic genitals, or he might have been enjoying some particularly impressive recreational pharmaceuticals. Still, I've come to deal with it and most people just find it slightly amusing, I have not yet met somebody who thought I was inherently offensive. | ||

Doesn't beat the funniest (and worst name to grow up in high school with)...
Dick Trickle. His parents must have been true sadists. TL |

I was always amused by Congressman Dick Armey. :-)
Does this say anything about the US Army? This post was edited by n4cer on Monday, June 17, 2002 at 13:38. |

Almost forgot, George Bush and Dick Cheney.
[DON'T] Vote for Bush and Dick :-) And then, there is also Andy Dick (actor/comedian). This post was edited by n4cer on Monday, June 17, 2002 at 13:46. |
