My trip to Disney World is being ruined by the fact that the Stuckey's rest-stop chain refuses to recognize my right to exist.

They've got personalized key chains, wallets, corkscrews, faux license plates — everything, but not one says "Curt."

My7-year-oldbrother, Chris, however, was in hog heaven. Not only dideverything comein his name, but there were countless variations —"Chris,""Christopher," "Christian," "Christina," "Christine." I gotmore andmore ticked off as my sister drove us down the interstate.

"Who died and made his name king?" I asked.

My sister laughed, then told Mom, "maybe he should go to Sunday school, at least once."

Apprehensive at first, but then there's laughing gas. Only you won't be spitting up swallowed blood once my hilarity subsides. If you are, let me know immediately, because that means I'm obviously doing something very, very wrong.
