What experiences have you had with people named Jong?

Jong can be a rare name depending on where in the world you live in. Just curious to see if anyone else has had any experience with people named Jong.

One year in elementary school, there was a kid who had the same name as me. I got into a fight, and I had to call home. The school secretary called the other Jong's number, and thus my mom never found out about the brawl.

Very very bad experiences. Life altering, permanently scarred types of experiences.

Experiences that are forever tattooed onto my psyche, despite years of therapy.

Your experience is probably not as a scarring as Tom Bowlus's experience with Jong.

once i tried to mail this guy jong some wine signed by Mike Ditka. the post orifice would not let me mail it since it's illegal to ship alcohol without a license. i should have lied and said it was a snow globe.

the wine is still in my garage.

You should invite Ditka over to share it with you. An evening drinking wine with a sexy asian chick. Actually, forget Ditka, sign ME up.







Oh yeah, you're getting married.

Actually I taught gymnastics to a kid named Jong. He didn't speak any English, but he watched the kids and followed what they did. One day he came up to me and was speaking quickly and worried. I asked him what was wrong. Then he barfed on me. His mom came running in squealing and apologizing. I never saw him again. He wasn't the first kid to barf on me, and he wasn't the last. I should stop spinning the kids around on the rings...

If Jong sent me one of the slanty fret basses on his site, I would have nothing but good things to say about him

I already know Jong's response to this one:

If you send him the correct 16 digits, he'll be happy to send you the bass.

No, you're wrong, roundeye money spends just fine. That's all he cares about.

The only experience I have with someone named Jong ended up with me being a lot poorer but also having a very nice Warwick. Now, if we're talking about people named Vuong, that's a whole different story...
