my mother went to school with a barbara doll (barbie doll)

Growing up, there was a podiatrist’s office at the end of the street.
The name on the sign … “Frederick J. Flintstone.”
Hey! I was going to post my story of poor Captain Dick, but it looks like you beat me to it.
I knew a Captain Dick in the Army when I was in Korea. He wasn’t my commander, but he hung out at the rec center with us a lot. Great guy.
I wonder if it’s the same guy. Dick is a common enough last name, so it probably isn’t.
Does it smell like urban legends in here or is it just me?
Asshole? Bitch? The jello twins?
This is so funny on so many levels… A Long, Dick in the palm is worth…what?
for myself, the school nurse in 5th grade was Mrs. Schatz.
In my high school there was a girl named Ho Lee. If you just called her by her first name it sounds insulting, so people called her by her full name, which sounds ridiculous.
While working at the bookstore I had customers with the following names:
Lauryl Hardy
Pervis Butt
And one, I forget the first name, but the last name was Barfus.
The best I’ve ever encountered though, is a man on the military base I live at who is an officer. His official title is Major Woody.
I was on the subway the other day and myself and my date overheard someone shouting at his kid Payday (a boy). I thought it was perhaps Pédé (doubt it was this one since he was not hispanic) but then paid no mind to it. The kid was well behaved, the guy was paying attention to him and making sure he wasn’t bothering the other passengers. Then a few minutes later he shouts at his youngest (another boy), Salray (I thought he said Celery at first but it lacked a syllable) and then it clicked. I almost feel sorry for the teasing those kids are sure to receive but the guy seemed like a good father.
Saw a doctor’s name in a directory once. I hope the poor guy didn’t grow up in the U.S. His name was Bum Suck Lee. I can only presume he was asian.
Anyone else thinking of Spaceballs?
“Yes, I’m an Asshole, sir. Major Asshole.”
But in real life:
Ivana Shaver. When you pronounce it “EE - vana” she corrects you - “No, it’s EYE-vana.”
Mr Humpage was a customer at a job I had that we all loved even though we never met him.
A popular Philipino boy’s name is Phoc. My mum works at schools with lots of Philipino kids and they try (in the name of cultural sensitivity) not to tell parents what to call their kids but when a kid called Phoc Yue came in they had to say something.
And my favourite was on a sign in England: Ivor St-Jean Dick. Which if you’re N American doesn’t sound silly but if you’re British it’s pronounced “Iva Singe-in’ Dick.”
Now, why would he post that on a sign, in public?
My mother has a cousin named Larry Hokinberry. He married a woman named Mary. They named their sons Gary, and Jerry. So…
Larry, Mary, Gary, and Jerry Hokinberry.
All I could say was…WOW.
The only one I’ve ever come across was on a notice in an office:
Ann Key.
My mother’s favorite was found decades ago in the Memphis society pages - Mrs. Clutcher Threefoot.
Here’s one from my job today: Nick Ngoc Nguyen.
The daughter of a woman I work with has called her child Jack Daniels…
Could be a fairly common name but it reminds me of the whiskey.
Some time ago, the Santa Cruz phone book listed one Cashmere Tango Obedience.
But did she echo?
Umm … just 'cause your son calls her that doesn’t mean it’s actually her name … 
I was amazed to hear this one on my local NPR station - apparently this lady has given a large chunk of change to the station, so they interviewed her on what it means to have your business mentioned as a sponsor. Her name?
Anita Cox.
Almost had to pull my car over I started laughing so hard…
I had a professor in college named Richard Dick.
Knew a family with the last name of Horr…they legally changed it to Harr.
Knew a guy name Richard Ball…you did NOT call him Dick Ball unless you wanted a black eye.
We had a cop, in our neighborhood, with the last name of Dick. The kids had a great time with that one. “How ya doin’ Officer DICK?” He had the patience of Job, that one. :eek:
And…I went to school, with a black guy, name Ivory Snow. WHY would anyone do that to their kid???:smack:
