- What's so funny about this dude that everyone breaks up when
- they hear his name? Could be because he's Homer Simpson. Not
- the put-upon dad in TV's hit cartoon, but a genial tavern owner
- from a Madison, Wis., suburb. This man has problems: "Try
- calling for a pizza, and they say, `Wow, sure!' Mail-order
- people just laugh. The same thing happens when I write a check
- and show my driver's license." He has two kids -- the tube
- family has three -- and they also get teased. So far, neither
- is like bug-eyed Brat -- uh, Bart -- so don't have a cow.
