I still chuckle every time I hear something about Dick Trickle. 🙂 The spouse used to work with a very nice Indian fellow whose name was Hari Harandahandapani. (I’m probably mangling the spelling, but that’s what it sounded like–it might have been three names, split between the Haran and the Dahandapani.) That is one of the more fun names to say that I’ve ever encountered. ---

[QUOTE=Surly Chick] Several years ago I worked in the passport section of a large, busy embassy where I had to call the applicants to the counter over a loudspeaker. One day someone named Mycock applied for a passport. You can imagine the [sub]penis[/sub] hilarity that ensued when I announced, “Mycock to the front desk, please.” Unfortunately Mrs. Mycock was not amused and huffily announced that it was pronounced “mee-co.” How was I supposed to know? Then the very next day someone named Jakass came in. Apparently\* that \* was pronounced Yah-Kahz.

When I was a kid, my neighbor’s cousin from India came to stay with him. His name? Hardick. When he found out that it sounded like “Hard Dick” to us, he brilliantly decided to circumvent the problem by adopting the American name Harry. You can imagine how much this helped; he was now Harry Hard-dick the rest of the year he was there. ---

I had the luck the other day of being on a conference call with a coworker with perhaps the most unfortunate name ever - Richard Woodcock. He goes by Dick. That’s right. **Dick Woodcock**. Three euphemisms for penis in one name. It actually took a second for this to sink in, and once it hit me, I had to put the phone on mute to avoid the rest of the meeting hearing my guffaws. A week later, I’m still giggling. Lest you think I’m joking, [here’s a screenshot of my company’s corporate phone directory](http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m22/jennimonkey/Funny/RichardWoodcock.jpg) (with the phone/email information cut out, of course). ---

Maybe not as funny as some, but I have a friend who is just a wee bit loco. This causes him the occasional run-in with lawmen. His attitude dealing with them just makes things worse. Things really go downhill when they ask him his last name and he answers “Cocaine.” ---

On the bus ride home from work today, I was gazing out the window and noticed a sign at a shopping center I hadn’t seen before: “Dick TVs In Rear” My inner school child laughed like a hyena on a Mountain Dew bender. ---

It was lucky that I saw her nameplate on her cubicle before I actually met her - Tan Cheese - or I would have been laughing in her face when we were introduced. It’s also lucky that she didn’t have the same last name as one of my bosses’ bosses - last name Poon. I also once dated a John Schmallberger, and no, he wasn’t that schmall. ---

Oh, man, I just woke up and waking up to “Mahnamahna!” is the best thing ever! I once heard an airport PA page a Mr. Wa Hu. I couldn’t help it. A loud “Wa-HOO!!” came flying out of my mouth before I could stop it. ---

Damn you, **Kizarvexius**. This song is _still_ in my head. I can’t stop hearing it. DAMN YOU!!! [shakes fist] Note to any law enforcement types viewing this: if you get reports in the Philadelphia area of a man randomly attacking passerby and trying to remove their eyeballs with a grapefruit spoon while maniacally singing “Doo-do-doo-doo-doot! Muhnamuhna!” Um, it isn’t me. No really. ---
