Phone books? I had totally forgotten! At my previous job, when things got reeeeeealy slow, I would sometimes flip through the phone books looking for funny names. I stopped looking as soon as I ran across one Assa Redd. I could never hope to do better than that one.
Heck is where you go when you don’t believe in Gosh.

So they named her Shelly.
You’d think that Superman would be a good person to invite to a barbecue but trust me, he’s not. I mean, sure he can cook the hot dogs fast with his heat vision, but they all taste of charred eye boogers.

I was loading a library card for a patron, and I asked for her driver’s liscence. It said her name was Candy Barr. I said, “I’m sorry, ma’am, but I’m going to need a second form of identification.” She smiled and said, “Can you believe I married a guy named Barr?” Turns out, she knew a girl in college whose name was also Candy Barr, no relation.
According to the CD Rom telephone database we used to have at the library, there are several Byron Shelly’s in the U.S., and several Shelly Byron’s.
Our local phone book lists a Reverend Billy Boozer.
