I guess with a name like that, your destiny pretty much locked up.
I sort of chuckle in a similar vein when I read the “Police Log” of folks named Lawless getting busted for something or other. I rather suppose the law enforcement folks have to wonder as well.
There is a Premiership footballer name of Gary Speed.
It’s not mentioned in his biography but he’s been arrested about 100 times for possession of amphetamines while driving at 90 mph.
Recently in the local news there was a guy with the surname of Plentywound who was arrested for stabbing someone. On the same day a guy with the name of Seamons was arrested for rape. :eek:
I’m showing my age here, but I recall that when Patty Hearst was kidnapped, the media made much out of the fact that her fiancee was “Steven Weed.” This caused my high school friends and I much amusement: “His name was Weed, man; I wanna party with him, he’d have some good stuff with a name like that…”
I’m amazed I made it through high school with enough brain cells to serve me in adulthood.
I like this one. It works on several levels depending on pronunciation.
Any relation to Jim-Bexley Speed?
No.
But I can tell you that Gary Speed scored today.
