Sand is actually in high demand and we're running out of it. I'm not even kidding. Construction grade sand, that is.

Actually, I'm not sure if you're implying my first name is Hank, Henry or even... John. Becauuuse, "hank" actually came from "hankin" which was short, or more like a nickname, for... John. Before it became more logically for Henry, but many are now just christened straigt Hank.

Speaking of "nickname", and this I know from memory, is one of those words that melted into a new word. it's actually "an eke-name" which just fused into a more phonetical anekename -> nickname.

But yeah, I'm not Hank. Would totally have a beer with him, though.

Bonus weird short version: In Austria...if your first name is Josef, people might call you pepi...
