My name.

Our truck is having A/C issues so I took it to the car doctor today.  I brought a book because I figured that I might be there for a few hours and my books are much better than car and golf magazines.

I go in and they tell me to take the shop truck so I'm not stuck there.  It's okay, I brought a book to read.  No, go ahead and take the truck, we let all of our customers use it.

Are they trying to get me out of the shop?  Are they waiting for me to leave so they can sacrifice a goat to diagnose problems?  What the hell, I knew we needed milk and dish detergent at least.  The closest grocery store is not my first choice because it's a bit expensive and they get offended if you don't accept their carryout offer.  They don't even accept tips.  But I only needed a couple of items so I went there.  I actually bought four items, the two I needed and then two surprises for my wife.

While there the bag boy was also named Justin.  Something I noticed years ago was that in fiction books and movies anyone named Justin is either evil or incompetent.  I really don't mind the evil but the incompetent annoys me.  Why can't someone have a good role model that just happens to be named Justin?

In WKRP in Cincinnati Dr Johnny Fever has a daughter who falls in love with an idiot, what's his name?  Justin of course.  In Carnivale the "villain" is Brother Justin Crowe, he's a great villain but he's still evil.  In Scrubs Justin was the name of an unicorn; don't ask, it's still not good.  I've found two positive role models, two out of 72 on IMDB, one is a rat in The Secret of NIMH.  The other is the title character of Justin and the Knights of Valour.

One's a rat and the other is a foreign film.  So my choices are vermin or Spanish.  What the hell?  Is my name in the middle of some weird conspiracy?  If you can think of a good use of the name Justin let me know.  I've been looking for years and nothing.
