OMG...funny name in News

[CorvusCamenarum]

Back in my undergraduate days, there was a girl in one of my classes named (and this is not made up) Shithade. Going around the room the first day to learn everyone's names, the professor made a slight slip and read the roll as...well you can guess.

When I lived in the States on a year out from Uni (Lewes, Delaware. And no, it wasn't boring!! ) I did have some fun with the local telephone directory. Only because of an episode of Mork and Mindy, which has since been banned in the UK, because two of the characters in the episode were Mr & Mrs. W*nker.
Seriously.

I was a hostage to Ithaca for four years while the woman got her degree in Veterinary Medicine. Rarely went to John Thomas, though o ) -- spent most of our time (and money) at Maxies and Just a Taste.

God I miss Maxies.

I'm in my fourth year here at Cornell (which is in Ithaca, for those who don't know) and I have yet to go to John Thomas or Maxies, and I have never heard of Just a Taste. lol, I guess I don't get out enough.

BTW, for you once-Ithaca people, Wings over Ithaca was bought by someone else and the name was changed to just "Wingz." How creative. There is some framed paper in the place for being the best wings in ithaca one year, and the new owners so creatively took a black magic marker and changed the "s" to a "z" so that it said "Best Wingz in Ithaca." Geez. Food still good though.

Oh yeah, back on topic. I do have a great uncle named Harry Driver.

I worked in retail a long time ago, and took a check from a man named Charles Hittler.

LOL, these are great!

There is a story going around the hospital that I've heard from enough people to give some credibility to:

A woman gave birth to twins, and the birth certificates read

Lemonjello (pronounced Luh-mon-ja-lo, with emphasis on the "mon")

Orangejello (pronounced O-ron-ja-lo, with emphasis on the "ron")

Fletch used Peter Lemonjello once. If anyone is interested the books are hilarious.

As for twin names, I doubt anything beats Eddie Murphy's "Monique and Unique" from Beverly Hills Cop 2.

There is a urology surgeon in the hospital I work at named Dr. Stream. That one I know to be true, since I've met him.

I'm seriously going to go through this thread and write all these names down.

crazy parents

I worked at a payroll office once where I got to see the names of thousands of employees during filing-- Some notable ones, not too dirty though:

Happy Whitehead
Irish Chestnut (we always thought this one reminded us of coffee..)
Michael Jackson (more than one too)

These parents must have just been lazy:
William Williamson
John Johnson
Jeff Jefferson
Peter Peterson

Also I used to go to a family practice doctor and on the list outside of doctors who worked there was a Dr. Payne..pediatrician too.

There's a "Candy Leathers" here.. an no, this isn't a strip joint.

My stupid computer teacher (I knew more then her and would correct her frequently) was named Mrs. Burk. I also just recently met a guy named Mark Butt. Poor guy.

 

[Chubypig]

a dick payne and a dick swift worked at my school.

At the dcotors office where my wife works there is a dr. named Dr. Pepper

Gynecologist in our town: Dr. Cox

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, that's like the greatest thing I hear in my life

In 8th grade, had an english teacher named Sandy Heiman

My Dad wanted to name me after an ancestor. His name was Wolfe. My last name is Wehr (pronouced where). Think about it.

I'm glad he changed his mind.

When I were a nipper, we had a teacher called Mr Goldballs - apparently a common jewish name. Naturally we all called him Goldenballs.

Here in the UK, we find some USA first names really funny - Randy for example. In the UK, if you say "I'm randy!" it means you're horny, ready for a good shagging.

Had an american gal named Randy on my course, always found it hard not to giggle

Spunky is another one - here it means er, ejaculate... always cracks me up to see on sports tv someone described as 'full of spunk!"

On my MA degree course at University of East London, one of our lecturers was Jayne Ifekwunigwe. Nothing unusual about that you might think.

However, when she wanted to make an impact, she would pronounce it as 'Ifyouwankme' - especially if some young undergrad asked her how to say her name
