First day of kindergarten, the teacher has all the kids introduce themselves by name. Billy, Susie, John, Janie and the rest of them each stood up and gave their names. Last girl in the room stands up and says "My name is Happy Butt!"

Teacher tries not to look shocked, and asks the girl if that's really the name her parents gave her.

"No, Ma'am," she answers. "They actually named me Gladys, but I think my way sounds nicer!"

Hey Gene,

True story: A friend of mine is a school teacher in a poor, rural district in the South. She was taking the role in a new class, and came across the name, "Female".
She was about the ask the student if that was her real name, when the student corrected her pronunciation of the name. She said,
"It's pronounced "Fee-'mål-ay".
Apparently, it was the name they gave her at the hospital (on the wristband).

This reminds me of the old Bill Cosby bit about his father naming him and his brother.

"But dad, I'm 'Jesus Christ', he is 'Dammit'!"

On another note...
When I lived at home with my parents there was a small neighbor boy who would walk down the street to visit my dad sitting on the porch. His name was Kenny but, my dad would tell him he was wrong, that his name was really "George". This went on every day for a month and finally when his mother would holler for Kenny, he wouldn't answer because Dad had convinced him that his name was George! Needless to say, she wasn't happy with having to call him George before he would go home.
True story!

Old Cagney and Lacey show featured "female" as a protagonist in one episode. Wonder if they got the idea from her or vice-versa.
