...they were doing paternity tests AGAIN (do they ever do shows that aren't about paternity tests anymore?), and there was this one married couple on there...they'd been married 17 years and had 5 kids, then the father decided that he wasn't really the father because he'd accidentally swallowed a package of birth control pills as a child, so he thought he was sterile.

ROFL Stacey you are in rare form today.

I think Maury's show exist on either paternity tests or shows about overcoming your fears (cotton balls, chickens, earrings etc.) Anytime I am home sick and I turn it on that is what is on that show. LOL

Anyhow one time I watched Maury and there was a woman on that had two guys on that she was convinced was the father of her kid, neither was. Well wouldn't you know the next time I was home sick like a year later the same woman was on for another paternity test with 5 more guys still trying to find the father of her daughter and the 5 new guys weren't the father. Seriously I was like HUH???? Are you serious? How are you sleeping with so many guys you can't narrow it down?

Smile,

I know it. LOL

Me too. I would be like yes, he is the only man I have slept with. PERIOD.

But man can you imagine going on national tv with 7 guys and none of them turn out to be the father of your child. Talk about putting your sex life out there. LOL

Smile,

"Do people REALLY name their children BUBBA?"

Oh, honey, since your handle is "Country Girl Up North," I can see you just ain't familiar with the south. We have CAR DEALERSHIPS here called "Bubba's Ford" etc. Personally, I think "Bubba" is short for "Brother." (No one in my family is named Bubba though).

And then there are the "two names" like Billy Bob, Bobbi Sue, etc.

It's a whole other world down here, although Florida isn't quite as "necky" as the rest of the south. ;-)

I can't top that story. I'm from North Florida too...but I have regular windows in my house!

You know, I don't think people actually name their sons Bubba...I think it's just a nickname. But hey, maybe some of them actually do look at a precious little baby boy and say, "Looks like a Bubba to me!" I'll bet most of them get named something like Robert or William and end up being called Bubba....you know, they'd never have a name like Terrance or Donovan or some other fairy-sounding name.

Another one of my favorites is "Sonny." We've got a whole bar-b-q chain called that. It's good bar-b-q, though.

If I remember correctly, there was a man named Bubba Boudreaux who was running for some office in Louisiana. Then there was the little boy in my class whose name was Jermy. NOT "JER-E-MY" but "Jermy".


Then I moved back home, and I have the "Sopranos" circle of friends: Ronnie, Johnny (2 of 'em), Joey (at least 3 of them), Anthony (2 of those, pronounced "Ant-ny"), and Nicky. We women have more variety. :)

Hehehe...speaking of having a bunch of friends with the same name...at the place where I go dancing, it seems like all the girls names are either Erin or Jen/Jenn.
