Oh, wait! Before I go, I wanted to post these panels from Sunday’s comic strip, ‘Cul De Sac’, by Richard Thompson, who points out one of the negative connotations for my surname.
Perhaps my ancestors were encouraged to leave England by way taunting…?
BTW, Richard Thompson was diagnosed last year with Parkinson’s Disease. From what I know of the illness, he has many good years ahead of him.
Just look at Michael J. Fox!. And If you want to see some bad associations with a surname, just type mine (Mank) into Urbandictionary.com; it’s a nasty adjective over the Pond.
