SO WHAT'S IN A NAME? IN THIS CASE, CHUCKLES

Since my own real name has been known to cause a few chuckles -- even, sometimes, to induce the rudeness of a query such as, "Oh, you're kidding, that's not really your name, is it?" -- I sympathize with all those who suffer the misfortune of an inadvertently humorous name. But that didn't keep me from chuckling, too, at this Dear Abby column.
