Love it Wolferz.

Reminds me of a lass from Post Office in the Nottingham area, back in the 90s; her surname was Sheriff.
Ok, nothing in that except her husband was a policeman.

There's more to come, his oppo in the patrol car was named Marshall.

You couldn't make it up better

So he was the sheriff of Nottingham?
:har:

It's strange Jeff, in that I never looked at it like that.
My wife says I often miss the most obvious thing especially when answering TV quizzes

I'm often told I'm a master of the unobvious.
:O:

I can recall the first shuttle blowing up as I was watching it.
Someone asked what NASA ment.
I wasn't as quick as another but had the same thought.
Need Another Seven Astronauts.

This is Ima. She was the daughter of a Texas governor, Jim Hogg.

"She endeavored to downplay her unusual name by signing her first name illegibly and having her stationery printed with 'I. Hogg' or 'Miss Hogg'."

About a month ago, I had to make a trip to the local Emergency Room. The name of the doctor who tended to me: Dr. Butcher...

In the the Air Force certain dutch names can be unfortunate. For example have a buddy name is Vanderzwagg. That got messed up and turned round so much he just went by Dutch in fact he used that name and would not answer to Hus first name which he disliked.

Knew another last name Updergraff means lives near a grave in Dutch anyway again got so messed up he just went by Up. Third last name was Lao had more letters than the limit of 14 for uniform name tapes so he was Alphabet.

I think the funniest real name I came across was seeing a Drs. personal parking place at Kaiser Vallejo. Dr. Coffin.

When I was in Radio School in the navy I knew a guy whose first name was Urmal. Later I had a shipmate named Veryl. Both went by "Butch".

Later on I knew a woman who said her son was the only solid thing in her life, so she named the poor kid Concrete.

I remember back in my early firefighter days. There was a group called Mister Mister (yes, that is two "misters"). They had a song called "Broken Wing."
Now while in an emergency room, one of the nurses was talking about a kid who was there with a broken arm. The kid's last name was Mister. His dad brought him in and was in the waiting room when he was ready.

:hmmm:
Wouldn't be so bad if his last name was Mason. Or change his last name to Mixer.
