The infamous Darrett Balnce

When I was younger, my dad got a call one evening from some telemarketer. Getting fed up with getting cold calls, he decided to screw with one of these guys and so he gave the fictitious name of “Ralphie Garrett”. Then I hear my dad say “uh yup, middle initial is ‘E’, first name spelled R-A-L-P-H”. heheh. So then for years later we got junk mail for “Mr. Ralph E. Garrett”.

I am facing a similar bit. I think my name got on some junk mail lists when I bought my house. However, it got bastardized somewho to - “Darrett Balnce”. I almost envision this being a optical scanner issue scanning over my name in some list sorted by last name : “Garrett, Blaine”. Awesome. So far, Darrett can get up to $500k in mortgage insurance. I can’t wait until he starts getting loan offers. weeeeeeee.
