"Instead of it being used as a slang expression here, this little town and the community round about is afflicted with "too much Johnson," a Newman Grove (Neb.) correspondent of the Sioux City Journal says. "I believe there are more Johnsons to the square inch in and around this town than anywhere else in the world, figuring on the same area. I have counted them up and find that, taking this town as a center, there are 958 Johnsons within a radius of twelve miles...." " From the Dakota County Herald, Dakota City, Nebraska, 27 May 1910.
Sometimes the jokes write themselves.
It looks like *my* Johnson may be hard to find. I'm looking in Omaha, but there are supposedly 623 John Johnsons in the Dakota City area, so it might be worse in a more populated area. The article goes on to say that banks are refusing to do business with any John Johnsons without assigning them a number to avoid account errors.
