    O Jordy, Jordy, wherefore art thou Jordy?
    Deny thy nephew and refuse his name.
    ‘Tis but thy name that is my rival:
    Thou art thyself, though not a Jordy.
    What’s Jordy? It is nor hand nor foot
    Nor arm nor face nor any other part
    Belonging to a man. O be thine own name, Isaac!
    What’s in a name? That which we call a waffle
    By any other name would smell as sweet;
    So Isaac would, were he not Jordy call’d,
    Retain that dear perfection which he owes
    Without that title. Jordy, doff thy name,
    And for that name, which is no part of thee,
    Take all myself.


    Masterful Jordy poetry. Does Uncle Jordy really smell sweet, or is that
    in the nose of the beholder?

    Since Jordy is always photographed wearing filthy diapers, I can't
    imagine that the air is breathable within six feet of him. It the
    Donkey finds it sweet, one can on assume that he smells even worse.

    That's a lot of bottles of beer on the wall and the floor in the
    picture. What happened to limiting himself to four? Four at a time?



    You're acting under the mistaken assumption that the Donkey periodically cleans his shed.

    Well, that changes the count. If he uses his shed as both an abode and
    a midden, there could be many layers of bottles on the floor. Hundreds, thousands.
