119. The first time someone said to you their crook and you laugh hysterically. (I'am sorry it just sounds so funny, where in hell did they get it from)

120. You need help carrying the Saturday papers.

121. Plastic wrapping is stronger (or maybe I'am just weaker here).

You not got a middle name you could use instead?

Some people use their middles names as their christian name don't they.

You could also think of it as 'new name' to go with your 'new life'
