Here’s a picture of one of Mike Hunt’s campaign signs.
Damn !! I want a big one !
Part of my current job is to update our registration database daily, so I see a lot of names pass by me. Most of them are normal, plain-Jane types, a few really cool sounding ones, and one that made me lose it completely.
The name was Jenna.
Jenna Toll.
She has my deepest sympathies.
I think your friend will be pleased to know that he isn’t the only guy who’s had to put up with the Captain gags. Don’t think it’s just a 70s thing either; I was born in 1980, and STILL hear the same jokes about my name at least two or three times a week.
Most annoying of all is the fact that every fuckwad who commits this crime genuinely believes they’re being so witty and original. I feel it’s my duty to inform them that they are neither of these things.
My name’s Eileen. If I hear the Come On Eileen joke one more time, I’ll scream. (What’s worse than Grease on Olivia Newton-John?)
Don’t even talk to me about the one leg shorter than the other bit either. Same with asking me which way I lean? It was slightly amusing when I was 5, it hasn’t been since.
I used to know a Chinese girl who got that joke a lot. Her name was Irene.

I’d be afraid if Mike Hunt were elected Aiken County Sheriff. The power might go to his head and one day he’d announce:
“Mike Hunt IS Aiken!”
The funniest part is, I lived near Aiken, and I have a strong suspicion that there are a lot of people there who KNOW why this is funny but don’t dare admit it. 
I did mention it to a few of the guys down there. They gave a chuckle and added that Mike was a good guy.
I spent this past year annoying my college’s alumni for a living, trying to get scholarship money out of them. I wrote down all of the really GOOD names I got. (Spellings changed) Ofur Gneazy, Bandanna Rokit… There was also Mr. Bland, who spoke in this amazing monotone. It was one of the only redeeming parts about that job.
My family and I were just talking about being cursed with horrible last names this afternoon. The group included my cousins, last name of Fagert, one of whom had previously dated a guy who’s last name was Dike. Had they married, it would have been the Fagert-Dike wedding. This cousin is also good with her ex’s sister. She was over today for the Fourth, and, as who is unmarried, her last name is also Dike.
Then, there was also my immediate family; our surname is Baluck, which has prompted a hundred Ball lick, Ball suck, Ballicker, Ballsucker jokes throught high school for me alone…and lastly, there was my boyfriend, Mudshark. His last name is Semancik. Which is commonly warped into either Semen Sack or Semen Chick…you get the gist. My Aunt’s boyfriend wound up having the only normal name…Barnhouse…which we quickly warped into Whorehouse so he didn’t feel left out.
So, I celebrated the Fourth with a Dike, all the Ballickers, one Semen Sack and a fair assortment of Fagerts, at the Whorehouses.’ We all got a big laugh out of it, really.
Maybe Mike Hunt’s the same way?
Best name I ever ran across: Rhea Dyer.
Imagine all the documents for her that required Last Name, First Name…
The thing I could never figure out was whether her parents named her that, or she married into it. Either way is pretty disturbing.
Until quite recently, we had a politician named Dick Face:
Before this gets posted as fact, here is the obligatory debunking of the “Hogg sisters of Texas”
Would a close contest in which Mr. Hunt prevails be announced with headlines such as: Mike Hunt wins by a Hair?
Should there be allegations of impropriety in office, would they then read: Probe Begins of Mike Hunt, and their findings:
Mike Hunt Emerges Clean or Mike Hunt Found Dirty.
Seriously, I worked with a guy years ago named Richard Head. I always called him Richard, as I could imagine what he went through growing up. :rolleyes:
In my telefundraising work, I run across some real winners. The one that sticks out in my mind was Mr. Uren.
Not as good as the previous, but when working in a call center, I once got a call from a Ms. Chow Ping Pong.
…And I thought having Lamb for a last name was bad (Lamb chops, Lamb chowder, Mary had a little lamb, blah blah blah… I never did figure out why people thought Lamb chowder was funny)
You think his name is funny? Have you seen his face? I think he uses that name so people will talk about the name and forget about his face. I think Hick Redneck would be a suitable name.
Somewhere around here, I still have a business card from a realtor named Rose E. Kuntz.
There was a substitute teacher who frequently was called in to teach at the highschool I went to named Mike Hunt. That poor, poor man.
