A California Highway Patrol Officer stopped a car for traveling
faster than the posted speed limit. Since he's in a good mood
that day, he decides to give the poor fellow a break and write
him out a warning instead of a ticket. So, he asks the man his
name. "Fred," he replies. Fred what?" the officer asks. "Just Fred,"
the man responds. When the officer presses him for a last name, the man tells him
that he used to have a last name but lost it. The officer thinks
he has a nut case on his hands but plays along with it. "Tell me Fred, how did you lose your last name?" The man replies, "It's a long story so stay with me. I was born
Fred Dingaling. I know it's a funny last name, but kids used to
tease me all the time, so I stayed to myself. 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, finally
got my degree so I was Fred Dingaling, MD. After a while I got
bored being a doctor so I decided to go back to school. Dentistry
was my dream. Got all the way through school, got my degree so I
was now Fred Dingaling, MD, DDS. Got bored doing dentistry so I
started fooling around with my assistant. She gave me VD. So, I
was Fred Dingaling , MD, DDS with VD. Well, the ADA found out about the VD so they took away my DDS so
I was Fred Dingaling, 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 Fred Dingaling with VD. Then the VD took
away my Dingaling, So now I'm just Fred." The officer walked away in tears from laughing so hard and tore
up the ticket
