After two weeks of deliberations, Mrs. E. just came in the room and
announced her decision on the name of her Grand Banks.

"JSJ AMERIKA"

de-coded it is:

JSJ - first initial of our three kids, Janice, Steven, John.

AME - Mrs's E's initials, AnnaMarie Eriksson

ERIK - obvious reference to last name.

RI - Fleeting reference to me, Richard.

KA - first initial of each of our daughters-in-law, Kim and Alexis.


Only a woman could dream this one up.

Interesting [though somewhat complicated] mixture.

Downside: I'd virtually guarantee that the "Amerika" portion, with the 'K',
will occasion a steady stream of comment, mostly from those presuming a
virulent left-wing anti-government statement on her part.

I thought about that. It would be an un-winnable debate. (much like what
goes on here)
She already checked to see if any other boats had a similar name.

It makes sense to her, therefore it is.

I am surprised. I just talked to her and explained that in the eyes of some
"Amerika" would be taken as a derogatory statement of America. Obviously,
she was only trying to fit in a reference to everybody's name.

Anyway, she agrees and is back to her deliberations.

That is why they are known as SWMBO. She Who Must Be Obeyed.

That's just creepy. I don't like men who are submissive to their wives.

You could do as the Sultan of Brunai did and name your boat "TITS" ...

Personal problem on your part.

John,
Or they'll think it has an immigrant content, such as the song in West
Side Story. "I want to be in Amerika" :-)
