Early on, they saw “The Wizard of Oz” at the movies and the wife just loved the little dog. When they had their first child, a boy, they named him after his father and she gave him the middle name of the little dog, Toto.
The poor kid had a rough life growing up as Otto Toto Toot.
The Toot’s only neighbor was a whacko who made stupid stuff up and posted it on some website.
You never know about life. It’s strange.

Sounds like my neighbor's neighbor.
