Hey, not too long ago it wasn't cool to have a last name that ended in a vowel - that's why my last name is spelled the way it is.

Actually, my grandfather changed his name to Murphy (not legally) when he moved to NY - it was automatically assumed that you were part of the brotherhood if your name was Italian.

He was quite the ladies man in his day, I understand from what my uncle tells me - so they would have figured out he wasn't Irish...

DISCLAIMER

No affront to my Irish bretheren - it's a joke, for chrissakes...
