don: Let's set the record straight <g>. Back in the old country my grandfather's and father's name, which are the same as mine, used to be "Just A Workin' Stiff <g>." The tradition of naming in my old country is something like that of your famous American Indian names like "Passing of the Wind," "Dog Sniffer," or "Great Witch Doctor Who Bendsover <g>." When we came to this country, the name was anglicized to its current spelling and pronunciation of "Justa Werkenstiff." We considered shortening the name to "Justa Stiff" but that carried other unwanted implications as you can imagine. Who wants to be known as a dead guy? Moreover, we later learned that Pfizer did a trademark search of the phrase "just stiff" for Viagra marketing purposes so it is a good thing we did not choose that shortened version <g>. Anyway, "Justa Werkenstiff" is my real name and I am proud of it <g>! Now that is the true story of this "Werkenstiff <g>>!"
