- My first name is Sam, and many people feel really clever when they connect my name with Sam I Am from Green Eggs and Ham. I don’t discourage it, since the only other famous “Sam” people can usually think of is the Son of Sam. I have concluded that it’s better to be associated with a weirdo who forces oddly colored food on people than with a serial killer.
- My last name is has a lot of consonants, and I spend a significant portion of my life spelling it for other people, then telling them how to pronounce it properly, and then getting glared at for correcting them.
- I’m a high school English teacher, which means people will take a great amount of joy in finding grammar errors in my posts and will therefore question whether I’m qualified to teach anything more complicated than Green Eggs and Ham.
- My friends and family tell me I’m funny. Since people never lie about that sort of thing, I decided to start a blog.
