    Do you know of any people who have funny names for their occupation of just funny in general?

    A friend of mine knew two doctors, one was Dr.Kidney, and the other Dr.Legg.

    I know of a school where three principals in succession had the surnames Black, Brown and Grey.

    Not the best examples but do you know any funny ones like these???

    :pac:

    Knew a girl called Shan Shan Whu in college. On roll-call, the lecturers would call 'Shan Shan' and someone would inevitably say 'Who?'. Stupid, but it kept us amused for years :P

    my wife worked in a hotel on reception. a guy walked in one night and ask for a room. sure she said, they agreed a rate and she asked his name. Roger Rabbitte. my wife pissed herself laughing (she was only about 18), then looked him straight in the eye and said 'no, seriously, whats your real name?'

    he took out his passport without another word and showed it to her. she shut up and processed the booking.
