That's not the beast in the bottom pic, that's Gaston who is a monumental douche.
In my first job I knew a guy who changed his last name to his wife's maiden name, for money. Her father had no sons, he was the last male in his family line, so he promised to leave all his money to the son-in-law if he'd change his name so the family line (and name) would continue. I don't know if D.Funny there was a reddit post about this. A guy did it because he's hoping to slip out on his sketchy past with her name lol
“Was” his wife. But some of us do get shorter 😕. I measured a full 2” shorter at my last exam than I recall being.
Not my wife any more.
Not sure I'd go that far.
