Lets talk about funny names. I mean real names of real people, you have encountered.
I worked for an alarm company at one time and when things got slow we would flip through our rolladex of subscribers and contacts searching for funny names.
The best ones I have ever found were;
female-
Suzy Clapsaddle,
male,
Harry Dick.
What names make you giggle?
