when I was a kid I spent all my money on model railroading. (HO scale trains) and all my friends called me H.O. and then after A year or so they shortened it to just "H".
After I got out of the military I spent 10 years as A private Investigator and Bounty Hunter. All the people I knew then called "Deputy DOG" that was until I made my first Million then, my best friends called me "Mega Man" and "Mr.Money".
The one name that has stuck with me since the Military mostly because of my size and strength is "Mongo" given to me by my best friend in 1976.
I was helping My best friend and his wife move from his old apartment to a new bigger apartment across town. There were about 7 or eight of us helping with the move. The new apartment was on the second floor and my friends had this large heavy refridgerator. There was barly enough room for two people to carry it up the stairs, because of the weight it was taking three people to move it and that wasn't working because of the room needed to get it around the corner.
That is when I showed up with the second truck loaded with their stuff. They kept trying over and over to get this monster 25 cubic foot fridge up the stairs and around the corner half way up.
I was sitting on a bench laughing at them when my best friends dad said OK strong man you think you can do better. I looked at him still laughing and said "YES! Every body stand back" With that I walked over to the Fridge threw A furniture strap around it, then stood with my back against it. I grabbed the strap pulled the refridgerator on to my back and walked up the stairs turned the corner and went up the second flight and into the apartment and then set it in the kitchen.
After I got the strap off and his wife pulled the strapping tape off the doors to keep them shut we opened the fridge so she could put things in it. To everbodys suprise(except his wife) it was packed from bottom to top with boxes full of kitchen supplies. Her mother was there and said "Its full of stuff" and everybody started to laugh. That's when My best friend said "it took Mongo the human Fork lift to get that thing in here". The name Mongo stuck and every time something heavy needs to be moved I get this Phone call, "Hello MONGO. What are you doing this weekend"?
