> [@Battle\_Pope](#): > > I had a teacher called Miss Fullalove. Not a good name for an all-boys high school. The girls’ gym teacher at our rival high school was Miss Lust. The woman had thighs like a gymnast. My favorite joke used to be: in high school, I knew a girl whose name, honest to God, was Sarah Wannafucker. Gullible Fool: Really? Yeah, after she graduated, she changed her name. GF: Yeah, I’ll bet. What’d she change it to? Susan Wannafucker. ---

I just met with a student whose last name is “Unlicker.” Very awesome. I have a friend whose last name is Firehammer. I wish she’d named one of her sons Thor. ---
