As a kid in the 70’s I remember ordering Dynomite magazine from school (for kids too old for WOW and too young for Bananas), and they someitmes had a bunch of these, some clever, some not, some downright odd (Esther A. Dotorindahouse)- do these have a name? And are there compiliations of them online anywhere? ---

[QUOTE=robardin] _A History of Homosexuality in Ireland_, by Patrick Fitzgerald and Gerald Fitzpatrick. [/QUOTE] That reminds me of one of my favorite jokes. An Irishman and a Scotsman are walking in a field. They see a sheep with its head stuck in a fence. The Scotsman walks over and has his way with it. He returns to the Irishman. “Would ye like summa that?” he asks. “Don’t know,” says the Irishman. “Would I hev ta put me head through the fence?” ---

I have an old National Lampoon magazine at home, it’s from the 70s too, with entire class lists consisting of these types of names. It was a school Yearbook parody kind of thing. I found it a few years back after moving some stuff in the basement. Those guys were fun-nnny back then. ---

I New York City I saw a car with a very professsionally done logo on the door that said “Dewey, Cheetham & Howe - Attorneys at Law” I think that was originally used by the Three Stooges. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-there-a-name-for-i-p-freely-type-puns/433922.md?page=2)
