A cop stops a car for traveling faster than the posted speed
limit. He asks the man his name. "Fred," he replies.
"Fred what?" the officer asks. "Just Fred," the man responds.
The officer's in a good mood, doesn't smell alcohol, and thinks he
might just give the fellow a break and write him out a warning
instead of a ticket. So the officer then presses him for the last
name. The man tells him that he used to have a last name but lost
it. The officer thinks that he has a nut case 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 -- a funny last name. The kids
used to tease me all the time. So I stayed to myself, 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, and finally got my degree, so I was Fred Dingaling,
MD.
"After a while 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 then I was Fred Dingaling, MD, DDS.
"Got bored doing dentistry, so I started fooling around with my
assistant and she gave me VD. So now I was Fred Dingaling, MD, DDS,
with VD. Well, the ADA found out about the VD, so they took away my
DDS.
Then 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, laughing.
