It's All in the Name

Today as I was exiting the airport I had the following conversation with the parking toll guy:

Parking Guy: Is this your married name? Your maiden name?

Me: (everyone in Hawaii assumes I'm married, it's so weird) I'm not married, that's my name.

PG: Do you have family from Missouri? Maybe 100 years ago?

Me: I do have family from Missouri, why? (actually, I'm not really sure if I have family from Missouri but I know I have some sort of family history in Missouri somewhere)

PG: Because there's was a famous James family in Missouri a hundred years ago.

Me: Jesse James?

PG: Yes, and Frank. Frank James.

Too classic! I may be related to the ultimately famous Frank James.
