Yes, it’s true. A man with the unbelieveable name of “Mike Hunt” is running for the elected position of sheriff in Aiken County, SC.
I just about spilled my sprite the first time I drove past one of his campaign signs, which are now plastered all over the area. Won’t someone please think of the children?
If anyone doesn’t understand why this is so outrageous, try saying his name out loud a few times in a row. (works better if you’re female)

…someone was running for office here last year withthe unfortunate last name of Aeriola
I went to school with a Mike Hunt. That’s what he wanted to be called too Mike, either he thought it was funny or just not to smart. I’m going with the latter.
“is Mike Hunt in the parking lot?”
Hmm… just to get some of the jokes outta the way…
I love Mike Hunt. Mike Hunt’s the best, I would vote for Mike Hunt anytime. Senior Citizens always seem to go for Mike Hunt. Mike Hunt really seems to appeal to the younger generation. Without Mike Hunt in this town, we’d all be lost. With Mike Hunt as Sheriff, we can all can live knowing that Aiken is safe. A vote for Mike Hunt is a vote for a clean, safe city.
Ok, I think I’m done. I’m sure I’ll come up with more after I submit.

One of my best friends in school was named Matt Cox. Every time someone mentioned his mom’s name, my Dad would burst out laughing. I never got it until I was about 13-14, and then one day it hit me.
Her first name was Drema. No bullshit.
Mike Hunt has the ability to imprison up to 12 criminals in a single night.
I had a maths teacher in secondary school called Mike Hunt. He chose the wrong profession to have a Bart Simpson special for a name.
In AIKEN?
I bet they don’t even realize it’s funny. Or, much more likely, they won’t admit it if they do. 
(Former Augusta resident here. I am not just making fun of dumb Southerners.)
Oh man. My dignity is so down the tubes right now. You’d think I’d have outgrown this kind of humor by now. Not only did I just sit here giggling hysterically at “Mike Hunt” jokes, I was giggling so uncontrollably that I dribbled some mostly-chewed Ho-Ho down the front of my chin. Thanks Latch, sperfur, and Mullinator.
I actually experienced a hapless waitress paging a “Mike Hunt” in a restaurant some years ago. Apparently someone had called in “needing to speak to him.”
In a wild coincidence, the waitress was someone that had attended the same high school as I, although I didn’t know her personally.
One of the other wait staffers hustled over to her after she called it out a few times and started whispering in her ear. Poor gal.
I went to high school with a guy named Perry Cox, just like the character on Scrubs.
No big deal you say? His full name in our senior annual:
Charles Perry Burns Cox
