A Highway Patrol officer pulls over a Harley rider for speeding and asks for his name.
“Fred,” the old biker replies.
“Fred what?” the officer inquires.
“Just Fred,” the man responds.
In a good mood and thinking about letting the biker off with a warning, the officer presses, “Come on, what’s your last name?”
The old man sighs and says, “I used to have a last name, but I lost it.”
The officer, now curious and a bit amused, decides to play along. “Okay, Fred, how did you lose your last name?”
The biker leans back and begins his tale. “Well, it’s a long story. I was born Fred Johnson. Worked hard in school, got good grades, and decided to become a doctor. After years of study, I earned my degree and became Fred Johnson, MD.
“But after a while, being a doctor got dull, so I went back to school and became a dentist. Now I was Fred Johnson, MD, DDS.
“Things were fine until I started fooling around with my assistant, and she gave me VD. So then I was Fred Johnson, MD, DDS, with VD.
“The ADA found out about the VD and took away my DDS, so I was just Fred Johnson, MD, with VD.
“Then the AMA heard about it, and they took away my MD, so I was just Fred Johnson with VD.
“Finally, the VD took away my Johnson, and that’s how I became… Just Fred.”
The officer walked away, laughing so hard he had tears in his eyes.
