The self made millionaire had managed to work his way to the top, even though he had never learned to read or write. The bankers and others who did business with him were able to work around this difficulty, and even allowed him to sign his checks with two X's. One day he went to cash a check, and signed three X's instead of two. The bank president was summoned immediately, and ushered the man off to his office. "We can accommodate you, of course," the president said solicitously," if you wish to do this from now on. But why the change?" "It's my wife's idea," the millionaire explained. "She thinks I'd be more socially acceptable if I had a middle name." Cheers Grandad Skip http://webhome.idirect.com/~skipco/MainPage.htm
