One time I was at a mall with my dad. There was a nice new car on display and he wanted to go look at it. The salesman said if Dad filled out a postcard to register to win, we could sit in the car and check it out. Dad took the card and filled it out as “Tom” something-or-another. I watched this and kept my mouth shut.
Afterward I asked him about it. He laughed. Tom was Dad’s favorite cousin’s ex-husband. Whenever something like this came up, Dad would give them Tom’s info. He’d been doing this for years, and occasionally updated the address as needed.
Dad’s no longer with us but I still Tom up for things to this day. Should I ever start getting SiriusXM spam, so will Tom.
