Subject:      re: Wierd names (no vw content or PC)

The conversation around the olde turkey yesterday at the in-laws lead to a laugh regarding a clipping from a recent newspaper (or something). Supposedly, there is a roof repair person in the UK who named his enterprise "Titus Duxasse Roof Repairs." Probably a really old joke but funny coming from mother-in-law, "New England Marge," who has the undeserving reputation as having her personallity described in a manner similar to the roofer's name. She's actually pretty funny, cooks a good bird, and has a pretty neat daughter... Rusty\
