What's in a Name?


The Nobel Peace Prize is named after the Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel who made his money in explosives and dynamite!!
Former Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke was on the witness stand last week on the A.I.G. bailout issue. It turns out he wrote a lot of emails under the pseudonym "Edward Quince".......quince is a fruit jelly and Spanish for fifteen so go figure what he had in mind. Now there is speculation on what alias his successor Janet Yellen will use. A review of social media would indicate that no one today is using their right name. My own resort to obfuscation only occurred when checking into a motel as my real surname caused snickering by the staff - and there was the time that a restaurant gave my table away. But if your name fits on the marquee then the rest is tolerable.
