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.

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!

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