Slightly off topic but I knew a lawyer with a surname of Cox. She hated her name and could not wait to get married so it would change. As fate has it she married a man with the surname of Dick. I remember suggesting she hyphenate to make the best of a bad selection, she kept her maiden name........

A few years back I bumped into her to discover she had divorced. When discussing the matter I said "That Dick was a Prick, lucky you stayed with Cox (Cock), then realised how it sounded......


mlc - suffering from foot in mouth.

Way back before time began, in my first job, I worked in a building that had a PA system that wasn't very clear. We also had a guy there with the name John Foreskit - everyone had a chuckle when they called his name over the PA

A mate's surname is Pink, and he married a girl with a surname of Gash, so she became a Pink Gash.


Also 2 cops, one with the surname of Constable and the other with the surname of Sargeant.

The first was Constable Constable until he was promoted to Sergeant, then he became Sergeant Constable.

The second was Constable Sargeant, until he was promoted to Sergeant, then he became Sergeant Sargeant.

If they were promoted to Inspector, the names would be sillier.

OK, I'll kick off.

I knew a Dr Killer (chief medical of a major private hospital) when I worked there as a student years ago.

I was lectured by a Dr Blood (lecturer in physiology), and a Dr Cummings (a zoologist specializing in sperm biology - I swear this is true).

I saw Dr Killer late last year so he is still around.

In Canberra, at the Army Officers' Mess, was a young stewardess. Her name was Private Parts. She was quite attractive and had a great personality, both of them. They quickly promoted her to Lance Corporal to save her from some embarrassment.

Ahh this thread is so funny!!!

As I was growing up, our group of lads at school would be referred to as 'Master' when recieving awards at school...
I always wondered why the audience would cack up lauhhing when my mate Graham Bates was called...

And the next award goes to Master Bates... I reckon he would still have a complex about that.

Hes probably on a huge debating team... The Mass Debaters...

Shit I still crack myself up over that one!!! Lol haha graham u poor bastard...
