A South Carolina Highway Patrol officer stops a Harley on I95 for traveling faster than the posted speed limit, so he asks the biker his name.
‘Eric,’ he responds. The officer asks, ‘Eric what?’ ‘Just Eric,’ the guy responds. The patrol officer is in a very good mood, thinks he might just give the biker a break, and write him out a warning instead of a ticket. The officer then presses him for the last name. The guy tells the officer that he used to have a last name but lost it. The officer thinks that he has a crazy on his hands but plays along with it. ‘OK. Tell me, Eric, how did you lose your last name?’ The guy replies, ‘It’s a long story, so stay with me.’ I was born Eric Johnson. I studied hard and got good grades. When I got older, I realized that I wanted to be a doctor. I went through college, medical school, internship, residency, and finally got my degree, so I was Eric Johnson, MD. After a while I got bored being a doctor, so I decided to go back to school. I always wanted to be a Dentist, it was my dream! Got all the way through School, got my degree, so then I was Eric Johnson, MD, DDS. Then I got bored doing dentistry, so I started fooling around with my assistant and she gave me VD, so now I was Eric Johnson, MD, DDS, with VD. Well, the ADA found out about the VD, so they took away my DDS. Then I was Eric Johnson, MD, with VD. Then the AMA found out about the ADA taking away my DDS because of the VD, so they took away my MD leaving me as Eric Johnson with VD. Then the VD took away my Johnson, so now I am Just Eric.’ The officer walked away in tears, laughing. |
