How Did I Choose My Forum Name...

HA!

I used to work with a great engineer named "Harry Weiner". His parents must have had a sense of humor. His name never bothered him.

When I was at Rockwell working on the Space Shuttle we had an old, very competent engineer named Al Schmuck. For real.

Our Division Prez. was a guy named Sy Rubenstein.

The two were in a big meeting. Sy said to Al, "You know, I just cannot help chuckling every time I hear your name, Schmuck".

Al had a booming voice, "Hell, my name was not always Schmuck. I CHANGED it to Schmuck!"

Sy was dumbfounded. He asked "What was your name before you changed it to Schmuck?"

Al boomed, "RUBENSTEIN!"

BTW, Al was so famous for his profane language that we circulated a list of "Schmuckisms".

After his first trip to the Cape, he said, "Those mosquitoes down there can stand flat footed and fuck a turkey!"
