I was discussing this with a friend today. There seem to have been a pretty large number of politicians with names that can easily be associated with bathroom humor. Granted, some of them are pretty common. But grouped with the others, it's almost comical.

George W. Bush
Dick Cheney
Colon Powell
Gary Johnson
Anthony Weiner
John Boehner (regardless of how people pronounce it, you know how you read it in your head)
Dick Swett

Sometimes, the middle school me can't help but laugh at the people we've elected to handle serious matters, given that it's hard to take them seriously.

Sorry this isn't more political. Figured it would probably end up being a political shit-throwing contest since it started with politicians in it, so I just pre-emptively put it here.

I can't imagine how bad it must be for a kid to have the last name of Weiner. Are you kidding me? I would change that as soon as I was able to.

But, O-Trap, there is a cross country kid at Smithville who is pretty good......last name Weiner. Poor kid.

Also: first name of Dick. Back in the day, it was very common.....but today, it just doesn't sound right to shout at a guy......"hey Dick!".....and have everyone around look at you.

Because today they are smart enough to go by Rick or Rich.

Wouldn't know, but yeah, I feel bad for the guy. Kids are creative enough without such an overtly mockable name.

Well, at the very least, they're socially savvy enough to go by those names.
