What's in a last name?

I need someone to think this is funny with me... I was driving to Panera yesterday morning and was beside a black Ford Five Thousand on the road.  The driver was obviously a drug rep; you could just tell.  Anyway, his suit coat was hanging in the back seat on the hook and the name tag was facing toward me.  He works for AstraZeneca and his name... Joe Butt.  Butt.  Ok, what kind of last name is that?  I got really worried for him thinking about how when he calls Papa John's for a pizza and they say "last name?" and he has to say "Butt" how they probably start giggling and they say "come on, what's your name really?" or something!!!  I can't stand it!  I tried to see if he had a wedding ring on; I would love to know if the girl he married would take on such a bold and awkward last name.  I wouldn't!  Heck no.  Colleen Butt.  No thank you.  

Anyway, I have been laughing about it for over 24 hours now...  Poor Joe Butt.

You know I always thought I was going to marry someone named "bob butt"...when we would reference things way in the future it was not uncommon for amy to list "mom and dad, alex and bob, etc." Thank goodness I know that isn't going to happen now...is Vernon better?

Okay think of his brand new little baby...baby butt??? and people sometimes ask my kids if they are a richey trying to place them with our family at church etc. so imagine their kid getting "are you a butt?" all the time!! Terrible I would so be having a name change.
