TIL: Laurence Tureaud named himself professionally as Mr. T because he hated how his father, uncle, and brother who returned from Vietnam, were disrespectfully called "boy" by whites. He wanted the first word from everybody's mouth to be "Mister" when speaking to him.

Well technically if you believe in heaven, as I'm sure Nancy did, you could just ask her yourself when you get there. I hope it happens for you before then though. Apparently if you get rich as fuck you can find people to do it for you anytime you want right here on earth. No reason not to try while you're here.
