Thread: I do love a funny name

Try and say these.... never mind trying to spell them.

I had brief dealings with a bloke named Wayne King years ago when working for a drilling company. Very apt name for him. Another one was a Trevor Dick. Good place to see funny names is the death notices in the daily paper which I always check just to make sure.....

My work offsider, a keen fisho, had to make delivery to a Rod Holder. Offsider reckons it was one of the hardest things I asked him to do.

Interesting reading this thread , seeing so many past members we never hear from now.

In the coal mines in central Queensland 30 odd years ago I worked for an engineer named Peter Nuss and without a word of a lie, his brother was named Andrew.

A Doctor (Consultant, actually) Dr Richard Alcock, betting he never uses...

the diminutives.

This one from the days when hospitals used PA systems, before pagers were popular.

This hospital modified a (new) Doctor's name, officially 'cos his surname matched a current staffer.

Reckon it was too much mirth for some, so Anthony became "Tony"

- as in "Paging Doctor Aaa-King..."
