In the eighties everybody in Ohio referred to him as Boner; including himself. But that shouldn’t be a surprise if you come from that area of Ohio, they pretty much bastardize all foreign names. For example, people look at you strange if you don’t pronounce the Ohio town of Versailles as Ver-Sales.:smack: And they will correct you until you pronounce the correct way.:smack::smack: Likewise Lima is pronuced Lie-Ma and Russia is pronounced Roo-sha. :eek: So it’s no wonder the guy just gave up and let the hicks call him Boner; I’ve known other Boehner’s in Ohio that gave up as well. I don’t care for SOB, but I have other bones to pick with him and don’t don’t need to resort to name calling.
