Fuk King Kwok was waiting for his driver's license to be printed when his name was called and a chuckling Illinois secretary of state employee offered some advice.

"She [said] this is a dangerous name," the Chinese immigrant recalled. "She [said] the name translated is not so good, maybe I should change [it]. The word I hear is not so good."

Not so good, indeed.

[Dallas59]

Poor guy....At least his middle name wasn't "Sue"...

What was that Chinese Pilots name again in the EP-3 crisis?

[Larry Lucido]

"By the way, your vanity plates came in, "ASSMAN."

[Peace will be here soon]

I thought Fuk was Korean.. meaning "virtue".

Did those racists at the DMV get this guys nationality wrong. I guess those Asians all look alike......

[Larry Lucido]

Was it Wang Wei or Wong Wei?

[Dallas59]

[MJY1288]

Wong Wei was his name,

Thank You!

[Othniel]

Brother of No Wei, no doubt.

And his rude cousin, Dis Wei.

And his sister who is always late, Phine-Wee.

Thank you! I'm here all week!

[Kirkwood]

Seem to recall a restaurant in Marietta GA by the name Long Dong.

[agooga]

So he changed his name to "Pus Infected Maggot" and now everything is hunky dory.

[Dallas59]

Is he any relation to that guy in Nantucket?

[Lorianne]

There is a Korean restuarant here called Fook Yuen ... no kidding.

[Old Seadog]

He changed his name all right. To Fuk King Jones. He hated the name Kwok.

[Salamander]

"And his rude cousin, Dis Wei."


Owner of the restaurant Wok Dis Wei?
