Why do people have to make fun of the name "Ben"

[tec699]

In grade school it was... Ben(d) over, Uncle Ben's rice, Ben gay, Benjamin Franklin, Benny Hill, and others I've forgotten. Is there another first name that is made fun of more then Ben?

I met this girl from Sweden a few years ago that loved to call me Benjamin.

Ha.. my boyfriend's name is Benedict. So he gets called "Ben" and also "Dicki." He was happy when the Pope chose his name!

Look at the Nascar driver Jimmy Johnson. Middle name is probably Schmavis.
