If you want to use this QR code (Quick Response code) just save the image and paste it where you want. You can even print it and use it that way. Coffee cups, T-Shirts etc would all be good for the QR code.

Hi Cristina, you wonderful lady : ) Well, my sig is just a reflection of my name. Heh, the funny thing is that my Mom worked in a prison in Helsinki, Finland (many years ago) and when I was born they wanted a short name. Hmmm...one of the prisoner's name was Timo so that's what I got... Cheers, Timo ( I feel like I want to break into a car or something but I can't imagine why ) Timo

Okay okay I know it took me long enough to respond to this one but here goes. My nick name comes from when I was in the Army. My last name being Johnston, my buddies just shortened it to Johnny. This is where the story takes a bad twist. We were doing some training, getting ready for National Training Center (NTC), which is out in the middle of the desert. We had a few weeks before we went to NTC, so we were doing some desert training when one day we had some R & R (rest and receration). We had some choices go to the pool, gym, or some other type of fun. Well I decided to go to the pool with some of my buddies. At the pool there was this high dive. So after my buddies talked me into going off of it. I decided top go for it. As I was up on the high dive fearing for my life, with the kids behind me wanting to jump off. I took a deep breathe and went to jump, well when I jumped, I go a good first bounce, when I come back down I missed the board, When I hit the water it hurt something awful. It was like getting an enyma from a pool. Ouch the pain, and embarassment. So after that all of my buddies started calling me Jumping Johnny "King of the High Dive" The name stuck after that. That's my story I'm sticking to it. See Ya, Mark

Timo, I am laughing my head off about you feeling the need to break into a car but don't know why! LOL! I always knew that was your name but never knew the great story behind it after all these years. I am so glad I asked this again! (Do you have an inmate number to go with that name?)  Will you be in Vegas next summer? Please, please? Remember your winnings last time and how you paid for your trip with it! Lady Luck is on your side! Miss you! Mark, Thanks so much for the story again! The mental picture is priceless!And will you be in Vegas next summer too? That was a great trip we all had in 2001. Let's do it again! Hugs, Cristina
