I hope this Era of the Easily Offended dies a violent and final death soon.

Obama’s name was offensive to me but nobody banned it...

I would like to participate in the solution.

Year ago when David Letterman was funny, he had a worst name contest - the finalists were Richard Head and Harry Dong. Harry won, with ID to prove it.

Canada’s been there before:

Dick Assman (1934 - ) is a Saskatchewan petrol station owner whose name propelled him to celebrity status across North America in 1995. Assman, who worked at Petro-Canada’s Victoria Square Mall station in Regina, was discovered by David Letterman, who was amused by his name. Assman was lavishly introduced on July 24, 1995, on The Late Show with David Letterman, where he was a nightly feature for about a month.

If I lived up there I’d be inclined to have my name changed to Buster Hyman or Heywood Jablome just for sh*ts and giggles. :^)

His name needs to be gender neutral.

He should change it to “Grabit”.

I worked with a Mennonite named Peter Harder.

Yeah, when this story came up, first thing I thought of was Dick Assman. Especially with it being in Canada.

We used to actually watch Letterman occasionally back then.

I had a band director in college named Richard Mayne. Great guy. We were working on an experimental, particularly difficult piece once and he said the following:

I'm Dick Mayne, and I'm excited!

My stepdaughter worked in Baggage Resolution for an airline and once had to help find lost luggage for an Egyptian passenger named “Dom Fok.”

“I worked with a Mennonite named Peter Harder.’

I worked years ago with his fellow congregants Peter Friesen and Dick Froese, and the Dycks.

It doesn’t beat the Asiana Airlines flight crew when they pancaked their jet at SFO.
