A local law enforcement officer stops 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 nutcase 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, funny last name. The 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 awhile, 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, 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 warning.
