Confidential to Clay Sauertieg

[Chickenman Testa]

@CSauertiegPSU

I saw you goofing on the name of a Wyoming State Senator on Twitter - Senator “Boner”.

About 10 years ago, I worked on a deal with him and his brothers. Believe it or not, the last name is pronounced exactly as you think it is - and exactly the opposite of what I’d want it pronounced like if it was my last name. Anyway, it was really hard (no pun intended) to keep it professional on conference calls, but at least this was before Zoom.

Man, high school years must have been rough for that guy.

I mean, seriously. That said, his high school probably had about 30 people per class - there’s nothing out there (I.e. East-central Wyoming). With half being girls, there’d only be 14 dudes in your class to mess with you

Same last name as my insurance guy. Also pronounced as it it looks, I had him pronounce it for me.
Reminds of the song "A boy named Sue"

Or a wrestler named “Fish” who had a big win last night.

Liked the looks of Minnys 133lber.

Is it me or, would a simple name change eliminate a lifetime of abuse. His first name isn't Dick, Hugh, or Harry is it?

Just adding an “n” in there would do the trick

Boner’n? Don’t think that fixes it.

 

[creamery freak]

He could be named the next president of the BIG 10 and be called the BIG Boner.

 

[loyalandtrue2]

Brian and I were in the Air Force stationed in Wyoming together. We always got a good laugh when someone who didn't know him called and would mispronounce his name.

That depends on who you ask and what needs to be fixed.

Every time this sort of thing “pops up” I feel compelled to share this self fulfilling prophecy.

Could never bring myself to root for Dick Trickle.

His father must have wanted him to become a urologist rather than a race car driver.

A guy named Harry Burd works where I do.

A guy named Harry Burd works where I do.

My wife audited payroll records which included a woman named Anita Dick. Cruel parents.

[golfer1922]

As I have read over all the contributions since I posted about the guy where I work (Harry Burd), It reminded me of another almost 50+ yrs ago, among friends of mine…….. the guy’s name they referred to was Peter Gozinya. On my wonderful Mother’s grave, I swear it’s true. Just don’t know if it was ever a real person. It was really funny as an adolescent, still is I guess.

Was she married? Just want to know where to pass blame. Her parents for being idiots or her for marrying a Dick..

Pretty sure your buddies were messing with you. I only say this because when I just turned 21, I was at the local bar having a beer and the phone rang and then you hear the bartender yelling, is there a Peter Gozinia here?Phone call for Peter Gozinia.. Lol

I used to work with a guy who told us he went to high school with a girl named Fonda Cox.

We didn’t believe him, so he brought in his yearbook, and, sure enough, there she was, pictured with the senior class.

I’m still not sure I believe it.

I had one student named Richard Dick. Of course his nickname was "Dick Squared". Next door teacher had a female student named Iva Boob. I had a student named Peter Long. On the first day of roll call I called for "Long, Peter".....sh@t. I apologized and he said...no biggie it was the 7th time today and there could be a lot of worse things to be called. Cool kid. I also had a female student named Crystal Lear. Middle name was Chanda . I liked that one
