Yes, but I was thinking more horny and _hung_ like a horse, for that really porn star vibe.

There used to be a NASCAR driver named **Dick Trickle.** The announcers would _always_ report his position, even though he was one of those drivers who never finished higher than 30th place or so. Guess they just liked to say “Dick Trickle” on the air. 🙂

And then there was TV reporter **Dick Shaft** …

THis chap may raise a few eyebrows:

As might this fellow:

And on the subject of Fanny Craddock. Fanny was “assisted” in her cooking shows by her husband Johnny. He would recommend wines to go with her food (although Tizer would normally have been more appropriate). One time she made doughnuts and he turned to the camera and said “well goodbye then, and I hope all your doughnuts turn out like Fannies”.
