another car name mishap (well, almost)

[Ron Kuzar]

This reminds me of another naming mishap. In the 1980s all organizations
of Jewish education in the US were united under an umbrella organization.
It was supposed to be called Jewish Education System in the United
States. Stationary was printed, and everything was ready for launching
the new organ until someone discovered it spelled JESUS... It was then
changed to JESNA Jewish Educational System in North America.
