"Hello, may I speak with Beezow Doo-Doo Zopittybop-Bop-Bop?"

"Beezow Doo-Doo Zopittybop-Bop-Bop Junior or Beezow Doo-Doo Zopittybop-Bop-Bop Senior?"

And I started using Wendell on the radio in the '70s because I considered it a funny name. Sigh.

But if I'm going to change my name to something crazy, I'll make it Ooeeooahhah Tingtang-Wallawalla Washington.

Colonel Cuckoo, they were simply respecting your rank.
