When Tom Jr. realizes what kind of work Jack does and finds the credit card receipt from the gas stop in Bermuda he sees the name John Tyleski (something like that) on it. He thinks to himself..."The first name was right but the last name..."

Now, I know that Jack is a nickname for John, like JFK was John Kennedy but everyone called him Jack.

I don't know why this blew my mind, I guess I felt like I knew Jack, knew his personal thoughts and what he went through in his life. To find out that his name is John was a bit of a shock.

Unless of course I read the passage entirely wrong and if that is the case I am an idiot and one of the moderators can delete this thread to protect my reading comprehension ability.

I think though, because secrets are hard to keep to ones self, that Jacks last name is in the series somewhere. Encrypted or anagram, somewhere. ( I can hear FPW laughing at me now)

Maybe Paul might auction off, for a modest sum, Jack's last name for a pledge for a righteous charity. With the proviso that the winner never reveal the name until Paul does in a future story. If ever... Sounds like an ahdear to me, gang. Paul?

KRW Wrote:Apparently your dying for it too. You also might have a better route to exicute it to! Money talks................! I like it it!

Bluesman Mike Lindner Wrote:My first bid, for the good charity, is ten bucks. How 'bout you, Ken? Can you make it $10.01? "You'll never walk alone..."

KRW Wrote:$10.01? I never raise a penny! I'll double it to $20.00 with the procides going to the vegetarian chupacabreas! They're such a small group with a small voice that I feel they need all the help they can get! It's not easy being a recovering goat sucking addict ya know!
