A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Great idea! That's another couple of accounts you can open up, and maybe even a few credit lines when both the parents have used theirs up.

Kidding obviously, because this place gets pretty rough sometimes.

I mainly ask, because when I worked in an armory there was a dude named 'GonzalezLamas-Suarez' whose name I had to handwrite on a very small line every single time I signed him out gear. It was the smallest font I'd ever seen on a uniform before.

Then you have those weird ones like "de Jesus" where it just doesn't make sense to be to have a preposition as part of your last name.

Same for my brother ha. His superiors actually just shorten it to one word when talking to him if it isn't super official.
