My buddy wasn't sure of my first name, and introduced me as "Richard". I was drunk, so I didn't correct him.

Six months later I ended up marrying that stripper.

Twenty years later I'm still called Richard.
I have a couple of friends of mine that were in the Marines and they still to this day call their Marine buddies by their last names or by their nick names. There was a Sgt. who's last name was Rocco and they all call him Sgt. Rock. They have been out for 15 years, but he is still, Sgt. Rock...hell even I call him Sgt. Rock. I don't think I even know his first name.
