You will not believe this.

What are the odds? Seriously. What are the ****ing odds?

No joke: A Hmong guy walked into the video and games store that I work at and this was his name... I almost pissed myself...

Does he have a middle name?

If not, he should seriously consider "Buddy".

You do realize there is a huge city in China called Hong Kong?  Went to people finder and found twenty people in the US with that last name.  So the odds are about sixteen million to one. Considering they probably don't have every last name the odds are probably more like ten million to one. Hey maybe you should get a lottery ticket?

Sure, but what are the odds their first name is also Yer? and that they walk into a store where someone plays DK and watches Allen stream all the time? Seriously... Yer? Who gets named Yer?

Just doing a quick search for people named "Yer Kong", 21 pop up in the United States. Interestingly, 16 out of the 21 live in Minnesota. I chalk this up to Minnesota being unique in its high number of Hmong immigrants.

I should maybe try to meet the other 15 in my state.  ;D
