This man's middle name, was taken from Winston Churchill.


But Rod, I believe Mr Lennon changed his middle name from Winston to Ono. Shows you what love will do.

Nancy Astor: "Sir, if you were my husband, I would give you poison."
Churchill: "If I were your husband I would take it."

If you can believe Wiki, it suggests that the quote may be of questionable authenticity:


Quote:
Possibly the two most famous of all such anecdotes report that Lady Astor said to Churchill, "If you were my husband, I'd poison your tea," to which he responded, "Madam, if you were my wife, I'd drink it!" This retort, usually attributed to Churchill, is of dubious authenticity, and has been attributed to others before him, for instance David Lloyd George, a British politician, in responding to a suffragette.

More possibly respect, by both parties.
An interesting convention, naming.
If your parents decide you are Mr. Breakneck Barbed wire.
are you obliged to keep it?
Is there offence if your wife retains her maiden name?
Are you defined by your given name?
Interesting nuggets to ponder.

Further, I was contemplating the other day, the name Burma,
it triggers a response within me, of a place of romance,
verdant green jungles, exotic handsome people.
The name Myanmar draws a blank.

During a cricket broadcast on local ABC radio, the word "Geronimo!"
was discussed as being a yell one has when approaching
a task or moment of extreme bravery.

Geronimo in the native tongue... "He who yawns"
