Message: [QUOTE="Veteran, post: 4257297, member: 10535"] I can relate to Sue's fun. I have the same last name as someone who was a famous NFL quarterback years ago. It's a fairly common name in some parts of the country but not in others. At that time, I was frequently travelling for business to places where it was not a common last name. It got to the point where I'd be checking into hotels and I could see the clerk look at my name and look up to me and I'd just say "No", because I knew that they were going to ask me if we were related. But if I wanted to have a little fun I'd sometimes say, "Yeah, he's my cousin. I was the one who taught him how to throw a spiral". It worked great if I was shaking hands and introducing myself to somebody sitting next to me on a barstool in the hotel watering hole, too. Then I'd admit I was only kidding. [/QUOTE]
