Some news show this evening had Fred Smith, the founder and
head of FedEx, on to talk about economic growth and government policy, etc. But
when I saw his name was Fred Smith, and he founded FedEx, I thought: “Hey, he
should change his name to Fred Ex (or Fred X)!”
Hey, other successful people do this all the time! Rob
Cummings, the singer for the band White Zombie, changed his name to Rob Zombie,
and everyone loved that! So why not Fred Ex? Then he could use “Fred Ex from
Fed Ex” as his Twitter handle as he proselytizes against higher taxes and
whatnot, and everyone would think he was cool and hip like Rob Zombie.
Or, maybe he should wait until he leaves FedEx to change his
name to Fred Ex (so signify that he has split from FedEx)?
