[history]
LAKE CITY, Fla. - When a judge wouldn't let Charles Haffey change his name to "God," the Florida man settled for God's description of Himself in the Bible's book of Exodus instead.
The judge then agreed to change Haffey's legal name to "I am who I am."

I'm partial to "I yam what I yam."

But his closest friends just call him "I'm".

If this were China instead of Lake City he would've been: "Sum Yung Man"

And, of course, "What I am is what I am" is already taken by singer Edie Brickell.

LOL! I liked that so much that I did that saying up in counted cross-stitch and hung it up in our entry way. The funniest part of it was that I had turned it in as an assignment in my last semester of nursing school. We had to do some sort of meaningful artsy project that represented what nursing meant to us. I always wanted to do the quote and wrote a paper explaining the significance. It was some of the best fiction ever written, total B.S. Professor loved it, probably looking for some underlying meaning to this day. I think of it and smile whenever I look at it. Take care and God bless.

If they asked for him at a doctor's office, would it be 'who am I?'
To: Sweet_Sunflower29
I am who I am
I am Sam
I am Sam
Sam I am
That I am who I am
That Sam-I-am!

Do you like
green eggs and ham?
I do not like them,
I am who I am.

Poor guy is suffering from ACD - (Abbott-Costello Disorder) - brought on by the fact that they never named a
designated hitter.

"Years ago, I knew a guy named Smith who had his name legally changed to "Tooney Fish". He got sick of having such a common name." Well, FM2020 passed away recently...
