	Like you, I used to get aggrivated when asked for my name and address
for a $ 3.00 purchase at Radio Shack.  So rather than argue with the clerk, I
thought I would have some fun in return: I generally give a name of a famous
criminal, adding a Jr. or III as appropriate, along with a phony address.
	I can *assure* you that Radio Shack is doing their best to send
catalogs to Al Capone III in Buffalo, New York...

Better yet, why not give your address as "1060 West Addison St., Chicago."
(Better known as Wrigley Field.)
