     I tell folks at ham radio license exam sessions, when they pass their   
   exam "WINNER!! WINNER!! CHICKEN DINNER!!"...then add "We don't like to   
   say "HAM", because it makes us look cannibalistic (hi hi).   
      
     According to Ventriloquist Jeff Dunham's dummy (ventriloquial figure),   
   "your name is offensive...Dun-Ham"!!    
      
     He's doing a show in central Arkansas in early February, but with the   
   price of tickets from $50 to $200 a pop, I'll wait until it comes out on   
   YouTube.   
      
     It's like the price of some ham radio gear...I don't know where these   
   gear manufacturers got the idea that "hams are loaded with money". It's   
   more like the cartoon, where the robber tries to hold up this guy, and   
   he's told "You're wasting your time...I'm a ham".
