I was hatched behind a theatre during a Don Knotts film festival. Across the alley was a sandwich shop. I walked in there, and they yelled "Mike, your sandwich is ready!" I went over there and just took the sandwich. The clerk said, "You're not Mike." I said, "Naww I'm Unkie Trunkie. Your name is Better Make a New Sammich for Mike."

And that's where my name was first uttered.

'Shithead' was deemed unacceptable by the state of New Jersey, so the parents went with David/Dave instead.
