In some ways,nicknames can be a pain.In real life,my nickname is "Irish".
When making out a check one day,a motorcycle repair customer,said to me,
How do you want this check made out?Thomas J Ahern.I said "Yes".
He said-I tried to find Irish in the phonebook.I couldn't find it,but you're
supposed to be the next best!He didn't realise,that we were the same
person! Irish
