Here's one you will NOT believe

The following excerpt was a copy of an email printed in Ken Hamblin's book "Pick a Better Country", pg. 49:

True story to relay to you - my daughter (in Germany) did financial counseling for the Army and had a Black couple come in for help. In gathering information, she asked for the name of their child. She was told (phonetic spelling) Shi-tea-add. Assuming it was an African ethnic name, she asked for the spelling, and this you may not believe: but it is S-h-i-t-h-e-a-d! I find it incomprehensible that anyone would do that to their child, what an awful thing to live with! I swear this story is true!
