    My brother-in-law was a Dick, or Dicky, all his life until he moved out of his home. Then he changed his name to Richard. Can’t say I blame him LOL. He’s a pretty “sensitive” guy, so he’s touchy about it. Somehow that didn’t come out right hahaha

    Be happy that she didn’t refer to Moby Dick as…..Moby Cosmo.

    At least on this site, you can still write the word “dick!!” Try writing that on the other comic site!! The “censor bot” will immediately delete your comment!!

    As a Richard, known as Dick from day one (July of 1952), I have stories to tell.

    She didn’t want to take a Nantucket sleighride with Richard. So she keeps her distance.

    We used to call guys who were jerks on the golf course “Richard Heads”

    The father of a friend went by “Ben” but the name on his birth certificate was actually Benny — couldn’t believe parents would do that to a child.

    A long time ago when I was a humble sailor I went to a shipmate’s wedding where he pledged his vows to beautiful Cathy. Many years later I meet my old friend and now he’s a manager at a nuclear power plant and she is Cathleen.

    Unfortunately her motto was ‘Just Say No To Dicks’.

    There was a prominent family in Texas-Hogg, that named their daughter Ima.

    At least she didn’t think Moby Dick was a social disease.
