Back in the late 70s when I was a charter pilot, the guys around the airport started calling me "Crazy Jim." I don't know why, since I was always quite cautious. Anyway, many a paying customer did a double take when they showed up at the little airport office and someone yelled, "Go find Crazy Jim and tell him he's got a customer!" Some of my 20-something employees started calling me "Captain Kirk," I think because I used one of those Nextel phones that flips open and has a speaker phone. It reminds them (and me) of the Startrek communicator.
