"Don't need to take a shower; all I did all
day was fart." -- Deepak, Jr.
Sometimes
people make more out of things than they should. I was at a party, once, with a bunch of
strangers and we got into this discussion about really ugly-sounding
names. With a glass of scotch in hand, I
announced that “Gretchen” was reprehensible.
Chuckling at my astute observation, making retching sounds, I was
addressed by a rather imposing woman with a sour look on her face. “My name is Gretchen.”
It
turns out that, on the road to enlightenment, it is wise to keep the subject of
ugly-sounding names out of a social conversation.
