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...

[x1stcav]

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 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.”

My dad’s nieighbor was Dick Chew.

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

A while back, when I was leaving flowers at a relative’s grave, I came across a headstone with the following surnames engraved on it: Hiscock, Wood, Freeman.

Moe: [answering the phone] Moe's Tavern.
Bart: Hello, is Al there?
Moe: Al?
Bart: Yes, Al. Last name: Coholic.
Moe: Let me check... [calls] Phone call for Al. Al Coholic. Is there an Al Coholic here?
[bar patrons laugh]
Moe: Wait a minute. [to phone] Listen, you little yellow-bellied rat jackass. If I ever find out who you are, I'll kill you! [hangs up]
Bart and Lisa: [laugh]
Homer: I hope you do find that punk someday, Moe.

---

Moe: Moe's Tavern.
Bart: Is Mr. Freely there?
Moe: Who?
Bart: Freely, first initials I. P.
Moe: Hold on, I'll check. Uh, is I. P. Freely here? Hey, everybody! I. P. Freely!
[the customers laugh]
Moe: Wait a minute... Listen to me, you lousy bum. When I get a hold of you, you're dead. I swear I'm gonna slice your heart in half!
Homer: You'll get that punk someday, Moe.
Moe: I don't know. He's tough to catch. He keeps changing his name.

I predict it won’t be much longer before someone somewhere will be offended by a standard license plate number such as 3KDF4135.

[lavaroise]

My buddy in Ohio was refused GATA on his plate. Something about Georgia Southern football but it also has a spanish meaning about screwing women apparently...

[Teacher317]

And his family headstones in their burial plots?

[redfreedom]

How many times can this be posted before the typical reader has it all memorized?

[Veto!]

They’d probably think Pussyhat 123 was just fine. I find that very offensive, and I demand my rights.

[Fresh Wind]

I’m guessing “LUV SATN” or “ALLAHU” would be fine, though.
