A religious couple wanted to give their children names that would identify who they are, like the people in the Bible. They named their first son Shadup, for they always have to tell him to shut up and their second son Trouble for he always gets into trouble.
One day the two went out to play. "Watch out for your brother Shadup, don't let him get lost" his mother said to him. The two went off to play in the park, and surely enough Trouble got lost. Shadup couldn't find him and sat on the side walk crying.
A man walked by and asked "why are you crying?" and Shadup replies, "My lost my brother and my mom told me to look after him. Now my mom's gonna kill me". "Don't worry I'll help you find him" comforted the man. "REALLY!?" Shapud yelled. "Of course, now what's your name?" the man asked. "Shadup" replied the boy. "Huh?" "Shadup". The man couldn't believe his ears, so he asked again "What's your name?" the boy thought the priest had a hearing problem so he went close to the priest's ear and yelled "SHADUP!" Outraged the priest asked "ARE YOU LOOKING FOR TROUBLE!?" To which the boy answer "Yes I am!"
