"The joking relations between the patronymic lineages of Fofanna and Jaiteh are said to have begun when their ancestors were traveling on a long journey without food. The student (talibe) Fofanna went into the bush and cut some meat from his leg and roasted it so that his teacher could eat. The teacher (karamo), Jaiteh ate it without realizing that it was from his student's body. They continued traveling, but Fofanna was bleeding and he became very weak. Jaiteh asked why he was so weak and Fofanna showed him his leg. Jaiteh healed the wound by laying his hands on it and praying. They then made an oath that their descendants would always support each other and never quarrel under the threat of misfortune"

I would like to think that I care this much about people. Or even that I will one day care this much about people. Hopefully it will be in other ways that I am called upon for help and support, because this just does not sound like something I could ever do.
AlSO: This name generator, supposedly the same one the Donald Glover from Community used while finding his stage name (I checked, and it really does come up with Childish Gambino when you use his name) entertains me a lot more than it should. My real name is "Spunky Misunderstood Genius." Find yours today.
