“Przypomina to historię pewnego pana nazwiskiem Abel, który pojechał do Ameryki. Tam nazywano go Ebel. Zaczął się więc pisać Ebel. Wtedy mówiono mu: Ibel. Pisał się więc Ibel. Wtedy zaczęto go nazywać Ajbel. Więc na wizytówce zjawisł się Ajbel, co Amerykanie wymawiali Edżbel. Na wizytówce ukazał się Edżbel… Słowem, po paru miesiącach p. Abel wyjechał z Ameryki jako Mr. Kopstruczumcziwadze.”
