Here is another great example of the common name dilemma. "The Postman" What
is it? A great question! I looked it up in a couple of my books. I could not
find any reference to the "The Postman". Scientific names serve a specific
purpose. Let me explain: My name is Leroy C. Koehn, my wife occasionally
refers to me as "ASSHOLE" . I am sure that if I ask someone, anyone who is
ASSHOLE, my name, along with 2 jillion others would be assigned to it.
Further:
While traveling to Key Largo with several other collectors, I was recently
called an "ASSHOLE" when I cut this fat lady off in traffic.
Aren't you offended, I was asked by one of my fellow collectors.
No, I explained, that woman loves me!
She didn't sound like she loved you to me, responded my fellow collector.
I know she loves me, I said with a smile, my wife loves me and she calls me
an ASSHOLE all the time!
Do I make my point
