A short humorous story why it would be cool to use to last names when introducing oneself at a meeting.

At my place of work there is this technician who I provide equipment to, who decides to change his last name from Bottles to Mahar. One day I asked him why He changed his last name? He told me that Bottles was his adopted family name,he want to change his last name to his natural birth parent's last name which Mahar. He had said that he is the last male born to this family and he want to carry on the family name.

So I told him it would be cool if he kept using both last names , just in case he turns into an alcoholic and gets busted for a DUI, and is order by a the court of law to attend a AA meetings.

At the AA meeting he can Stand up and introduce himself to the group by saying," Hi my name is Mahar Bottles,and I am not a alcoholic !"

" I am here because I was court ordered. to attend these meetings."
