   Not necessarily. I used to stop at a diner once per week for breakfast. After a while the cook would see my car pull in and have my usual breakfast ready for me by the time I parked and walked in.

   Did that mean I had a problem with scrambled eggs?

   Supposedly Eric the Red called the land he discovered “Greenland” to entice people to move there.

   BTW: Eric had a brother named Rudolph who was not as well known but, in a way, as successful. He had a knack for herding reindeer and had the finest reindeer herd in Norway. People came from all over Scandinavia for advice. “After all” they would say:

   “Rudolph the Red knows Reindeer”.

   Rudolph also had a strange ability to predict weather. One day he was out talking to his neighbor Sven and suddenly looked up and said “We had better get inside; it’s about to rain”

   Sven went into his house and said to his wife “I came in because Rudolph said it was going to rain”. His wife said “that can’t be. It’s sunny and there’s not a cloud in the sky”. A few minutes later it was raining very hard. Said Sven:

   “Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear”

   Back in the golden days of radio on a program called “Allen’s Alley” there was a character, Senator Beauregard Claghorn, a spoof on the stereotypical southern US senator. I suspect that Foghorn Leghorn was a spoof on the senator.
