Help[Opinions] Re: Jacob
in reply to a message by Starfish and Coffee
I never cared for Jacob and didn't really understand why it suddenly got so popular like it did. It's heavy and clunky sounding. I give it a three, because it's not actually terrible.
I do like the nn Jake. My grandfather had a good friend we all called Uncle Jake (his real name was actually Eddie and I forget why he was called Jake) and loved him dearly. He was a telephone lineman and got hit by lightning once while up on a pole and had his false teeth knocked right out of his mouth, and was lucky that was the worst of it. He was a very nice man. Also handsome, false teeth and all.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
