Of course they won't bloody remember, they'll be dead.' Then she called him a name in a dead language that translated, roughly, to 'poop on a stick, ' but sounded more succinct, like this: 'Of course they won't bloody remember, they'll be dead, Poopstick.

About This Quote

The first time I heard this story, it didn't have a sad ending. It was just a story about two people who were on the road, staring at the sunset, and they said this. That is until I read the words of the woman who told it. She said that it was her husband's name for her mother. Her mother's name for him was 'poop on a stick.' He couldn't say her name without saying 'poop on a stick.' He could not say 'poo' without saying 'on a stick.' They had met over the sadness of their parents' names.
