There was a real person named Sue, and he was in politics.

No lie, my grandfather's name was Leslie Ruth. He was though toughest Teamster SOB you'd ever want to meet. (One time he threw a politician headlong off a fish truck, but I don't think it was Sue.)

On the other hand, my middle name is "Leslie", but the ribbing I took for it never made me any tougher.

Mine's "Lynn." (Shakes head.) Never was cool with it until Lynn Swann made it big with the Steelers.

Middle names don't count. If Leslie was your first name you probably would have been a Navy SEAL.

Is Leslie, by any chance, your mother's maiden name? That's how I got my middle name.
