Down the street from my home, there is a Kinko's that I occasionally frequent to make copies. On my first visit I spied an award hanging on the wall for Employee of the Month or whatever other drivel.
The name?
Randy Hand.
He must be a Master Debater. |

There is a urologist in my hometown whose name is Richard Tapper.
With a name like that, I guess he was destined to be in the field of urology! |

| I went to school with a guy called Harry D!ck. In the Cowichan tribe of Vancouver Island, off the west coast of Canada (where from I hail), the people often have first names as surnames-- lots of Peters, D!cks, Joes, Johnnys, etc. It makes for some intriguing combos. |

While on vacation in Cairns, we saw a sign that advertised for a Dr John Happy who was a dentist.
There was another funny one, but I forget it at the mo. |

I once met a guy whose name was Horace Wang.
Try saying that fast a couple of times. |

There was a professor Richard Stryker (sp?) at my university, who actually used the nickname Dick! I took a class with him. There was also a poor grad student named Michael Hunt, who refused to be called Mike. In the same town there was an opthomologist named I. Ball.
When I was a kid, there was someone in the Buffalo phone book called "Powerful Allah." I wondered if the person was self-aggrandizing, or just religious. |

| I tutored a student from Goa called Seymour Vaj. Thank heavens I didn't have to call out a register. |

Actually, I heard that pron stars use the name of a favorite pet plus the name of the street they grew up on.

There is a kid in one of classes whose name is Fun Kin Ho. Say that a few times fast....it all blends together.
The other dentists at the John Happy clinic were John Thomas and Stephen King. YOIKS!!!
Your 'adult star' name is your first pet's name and the street you grew up on. I end up being Chancie Warner, which according to some people, is not a bad name for a 'star'!  |

Oh dear! I would be Tiddles Belle-Vue on that score. Sounds like a Bond girl. |
