4. A great one from the National Lampoon True Facts issue

A woman in the Weddings section having her lastname change from Dickman to Cockman. Why bother?

[RFKHumphreyObama]

5. In NSW Australia they used to have a minister named Richard Face

Leaving aside the problems with abbreviating his first name and attaching it to his second name, he also used to have problems leaving parliamentary question time because the Opposition would always interject "the government's losing Face!"

[ComerPerro]

Dick Dangles


I am not kidding

[dolo amber]

Harry Woodcock
Peter Enright <---My personal fave:D
Dick Sparks (bet he's fun in the dark! :P)
Anita Coughin
Harry Baughs
Iona Virgin

8. My kids went to a doctor Bohn {pronounced bone}

[thom1102]

13. My partner processed insurance claims...

and one of the people who called in one day said her name was "leh-MAHN-jeh-low" spelled Lemonjello. Another: "PAH-ja-may" spelled Pajama.

[CanuckAmok]

15. Poor Misty...

I mean, being named "Misty" is unfair enough, but her original last name was Davison. But her mom remarried a guy from Samoa, who legally adopted Misty, so that's how she became "Misty Pynappels".

This is what is meant by 'destiny'. Choose the most likely announcement:

1) "...and the Nobel Prize for Chemistry goes to Doctor Misty Pynappels..."

or

2) "...a-a-a-lright, gentlemen, it's time to put those hairy palms together and welcome to the centre stage, three-time winner of the Miss Nude Oswego cometition, Miss Misty Pynappels!"

12. In the 1930's, King George VI visited Canada

With the Queen (later Queen Mum). They took a train tour right across the country; it was a very big event. When they reached Winnipeg, they visited City Hall with the Prime Minister, Mackenzie King, and the mayor of Winnipeg, John Queen. You can easily imagine what went on:
