sunshine 2 #1 April 7, 2005 I just don't understand it. If a guy is named Richard, how come his nickname is Dick? And why would a guy actually go by the name Dick? ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 37 #7 April 8, 2005 My dad and my uncle both go by Dick. It was a normal name when they were growing up (remember the "Dick and Jane" books?) They've heard every joke in the world by now since they are in their 60's, so it doesn't bother them.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
