People whose names are the opposite of their jobs

[friedo]

That's a mouthful, eh?

I know a chef named Mr. Bland.

In college, one of the guys on my floor was studying to transfer to a Catholic seminary. If he made it, he is surely a priest by now. Father Cohen. Seriously.

A friend of mine claims to have once been the patient of a gynecologist named Dr. Pryk.

This one is a stretch, but I once met a PETA zombie with the last name Tanner.

[Scribble]

My mom's surgeon's name was Dr. Slaughter.

[Lust4Life]

Oh sorry! you wanted people whos names were the OPPOSITE of their selves IRL.

I'll get my coat.

[Ellen Cherry]

My mom's surgeon's name was Dr. Slaughter.

One of my friends, growing up, had a mother who was a nurse. Her maiden name was Paine and he liked to talk about his mom, Nurse Pain.

My sister is a chef; however, she is not a baker, as she likes to tell people, since there seems to be some confusion since her last name is Baker.

[Chessic Sense]

I knew a guy named Little. He was a Major in the Army.

A white guy named Black. If he got in trouble, he'd ask if it was because he was Black.

Lieutenant Sargent (not quite sergeant, but close enough)

A mechanic named Pilot.

Explain this one please.

[Chez Guevara]

Explain this one please.One would imagine that Catholic priests named Cohen are as rare as foreskins on a circumcised penis.

[friedo]

Explain this one please.

Cohen is a very common Jewish name. In addition, if your last name is Cohen, there is a very good chance that you are descended from the kohanim, the traditional priests of Judaism.

[An Gadaí]

Ah right. Cohen is also an Irish name though, or are these Irish Cohens from the same stock too?

I once saw a contractor's truck with this painted on it: R.E. Damphousse - Roofing and Siding

On the other hand, my college synthesizer teacher had the last name of Noyse.

Dallas has the R.H. Dedman Medical Center (http://www.hospital-data.com/hospitals/R-H-DEDMAN-MEMORIAL-MEDICAL-CENTER-D900.html). I think it's often delicately referred to as the RHD medical center.

[Beware of Doug]

This is about the 24th time I will have mentioned Des Moines, IA's Flatt Tire Center (http://www.iowatires.com).

I'm hoping to talk 'em into a new set of all-weather radials for the Volvo.

[GIGObuster]

I do remember a pilot that was a first officer in British Airways called John Coward.

I also do remember how amusing was to see a soldier in Iraq being interviewed and his name posted on the screen was also Coward.
