The name Cheek makes me think of a customer I helped at work the other day. She paid with Visa, and I didn't notice her name until I checked her signed receipt afterwards. The name on her Visa card (which shows up on the receipt) was: Cheek Bun Chen. I kid you not. How do you get a name like that?!?!
