I had a tall tree come down in the yard this morning. It snapped off about 6 feet up. Luckily it missed the coops - this time.
Most of them have been hit by falling trees at one time or another. I still haven't repaired a chain link run that had a tree land on it a couple years ago.

When the wife calls on bills, doc appointments etc. she gets 'is she' or 'is Leslie' 'your partner' Lol! If I try to cash a check at the bank drivethrew I get a funny look and 'Is she with you?' Grrr! It's me idiot! I was named after my Great Grandfather.

dads name was Lucia.... he changed it from Clyde to Lucia.....

all stemming from his sisters calling him Little Brother.... then it got shortened to LB..... so he changed his name to Lucia Bryan.. Lucia was grandpas first name. and one of dads sisters names...He signed stuff as Lou...

Buddy of mine's grandma's name is Dorcas, it it is super funny when you call her Dork, or gramma Dork, you get awful looks if someone is around that doesn't know that is her name lol. But that's what everyone she knows calls her.
Her husband's name was Halsey, never heard anyone else called either of them.

I worked with a guy who I thought was named Bill Cook.
Turns out his real name was Rector Rhetus Cook.
I guess I'd call myself Bill too.

Halsey I have heard of its a very old name but usually a sir name... But you could be called Hal.

Years ago my father was partners in a bluestone quarry and had a couple employees they paid under the table. One of them was getting married and wanted to buy a house and needed proof of income.thetheysaid no big deal we'll just have the check put in your name once in awhile, they were big checks.
The next trailer load they sent the driver tallied up the square footage and dad told him to writeout the check to Jack Hard Jr. Driver wouldn't until the guy showed him his ID. He says you think that's funny, I have a uncle named Richard and we don't call him Rich...

Another good one.
It's a shame what parents do to kids.
When we had kids we chose from names that we couldn't think could be made fun of. I think we chose well.
