My firstborn's name
So, I was checking my email today, and I looked in my spam folder. Sometimes spam messages are funny, and sometimes they are even poetic. Usually, I don't get any fun ones. Maybe I just don't read them enough.
Anyway, I got a fairly bland spam about some stock that costs 10 cents a share (what a deal!), but the "name" of the sender caught my eye. Are you ready for this? Butts Ferdinand! What a name!
I could name my dog Butts Ferdinand. It has a nice ring to it. Like Spuds McKenzie, or Studs Terkel. Have you met my dog? His name is Butts Ferdinand!
Or it could be a substitute for swearing, like "fudge." Hey, your car is getting towed! What?! Butts Ferdinand!
Or, Butts Ferdinand could be an anti-smoking mascot.
Who's that guy? Why it's the National Institute of Health's latest anti-smoking campaign, Butts Ferdinand! It sounds remotely French - maybe if people associate smoking with the French, they won't do that anymore. Okay, nevermind. I see why that's dumb.
