95. Saw a new one the other day

Young lady about maybe 23 working at Sam's Club - I'd heard one of the other clerks call her Heather, which is a perfectly nice name. Then I happened to look at her name badge - Hythyr. Made me want to hunt her parents down and slap them.

Then again, there's a Vietnamese fellow that works there whose badge reads merely: PHUC. Now, if you moved to another country and found that your name was an obscene word, wouldn't you pick a nickname or something that was less subject to ridicule?

Wonder if the DMV would let him get a personalized license plate that said PHUC, or would they have a conniption about the "obscenity"?
