And then there's this dude:

I recall Jerry Lewis introducing Lynyrd Skynyrd as “Line-yurd Sky-nyurd” on the Telethon one year.
He’s Ben Dover’s brother-in-law.
I did some work in Thailand, and the 20-something locals were all calling each other Allen, George, Amy, Barb, etc.
I asked one of them that it seemed really odd that they had American names.
“Oh - yeah. No - those are the names they gave us in school in our English classes. Guys in the front got names like Allen, and in the back - Robert. We just went alphabetically. But we ended up using them forever.”
Yes, but he always regarded Ida Bitner as the “one who got away.”
Hugh Jass has a lot to overcome.
I remember that guy!
And then there's this dude:
This isn’t about torts. It’s about feeeelings.
What is the world coming to when a repulsive lesbian is allowed to besmirch the name of a hard working, minority real estate agent without consequences?
The world is unraveling around us and no one cares!!
I refuse to believe this woman never noticed her own name was a joke.
I went to high school with a guy who’s last name was Fag.”
Did he have a sister whose first name was “Ima”?
Some names were just meant to be legally changed.
I don’t think I ever saw a man doing the laundry or using a wringer washer when I was growing up. Maybe that was one of the reasons why.
I don’t know but his dad had personal license plates that said.”FAGS”. I’m NOT kidding.
I always couldn’t help feeling sorry for the guy but he seemed to take it really well and had a lot of the same friends as me. So people liked him and didn’t really pick on him about the name, at least in HS anyway. I remember he had a great sense of humor too.
—There was a painter named Titian,
pronounced “TISH-inn”,or at least it’s
said that way in the Kinks’ “20th Century
Man”.A sketch on Sat Night Live had Dan
Ackroyd as a guy who thought it was
pronounced TITTY-an”... Had read about a man named Bo Gritz and I thought,ha, like grits or
“Kiss my grits”. Was a bit disappointed
to hear it’s supposed to be pronounced
“GRITES”.

He left with Jack Hoff.
You mean I could have sued people for making sexually suggestive jokes based on a mispronunciation of my last name?
People can overcome their names. Harry Baals,

I had heard but never saw —the USN ship USS Brinkley Bass (DD-887) was ‘always’ getting the 2 B’s painted over.
Not much today (other than defacing a ship) but in late 50s/early 60s that could be considered somewhat ‘risque’
another one used to be Fort Rucker...you could do ‘wonders’ with the “R” especially when a gal answered but
in Morse code an R
is dit dah dit and and F
is dit dit dah dit
and while I am on the subject an A
is dit dah and a U
is dit dit dah,
again a silly little dit could turn a champ into a chump.
Maybe Degenerates should have gone with ta tas????
I knew a guy named Dick Ball who lived on Cox street.
No lie!
The kid in my high school with the worst attitude problem was Felix Fudge. And no wonder.
Yes,he ‘s out with Al Koholic!
Long ago on what was then a rural part of Rt.34 in New Jersey was a sign for “Heyniger Bros.” Don’t know or remember what type of business it was.
