Name Change Should Stop The Snickers
Chicago Sun Times ^ | 1/16/2006 | STEVE PATTERSON

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.

Nah, I'd get all the way there and you'd be wearing a hat, too.

You have to gamble once in a while. ;-)

I'm off to curl up in front of the TV (or something unproductive like that) before bed.

Say goodnight to Fuk King Kwok and Wong Wei for me.

Good night!

Hung was already taken or he would have changed his name to Fuk King Hung.

There is a bookstore in Chamblee (on Buford Hwy for you locals) that is called "My Dung Video". I have it on my phonecam but I'm too much of a moron to post it.
