Not a funny name, just odd circumstances!

Our very own Jackass who posts here. Worked with him for a few years and me and "Chuck" became good friends. One day I was there when he got his paycheck and it was addressed to "Thomas"! I was like, WTH? He said his friends just decided to call him Chuck when he was little! I like to call him Charles!

A few names come to mind...

First, a fellow who used to work here is named Charles Stuck, everyone called him "Chuck" as in "Chuck Stuck"

Second, many years ago, I saw something on a sign in front of a home that was for sale that stayed with me all these years... the name of the realty agency was "The Dick Brain Agency"

Third, there is a lawyer in my town named "Steven Costley"

Worse yet, there used to be a dentist who practiced locally named "Dr. Payne"

Finally, former Senator Tom DeLay's name is kind of strange, too, when you consider that he was a politician and that is what politicians seem to do best, delay.....

P.S. it's almost as if fate decided what those three fellows were going to do for a living!

My friend Justin used to work with a guy whose last name was China and he named his daughter Chyna. Yep, Chyna China. PS: the guy's black. Not that this would be acceptable if he was Chinese.

Going through lawyers' names all day, I find some real beauties. Richard Richards, there's a firm named Butts & Johnson, and today I found a guy named Seymour Sacks.

Hey, how about some of the names that celebrities give their kids?

Frank Zappa gave these names to his kids... Moon Unit and Dweezil

I was stationed with a few guys with names that made you ask what their parents were thinking. One was Richard Hair and the other was Richard Head III. The worst thing was that Richard Head was the third!
We were ordered by our commander to not call either one of them Dick. Officers can take all the fun out of any situation!

Lipschitz was also the name of a popular Kosher wine that used to be sold in the NY area.

I grew up in Flushing. We used to tell Harvey that if his Lipshitz, our asses whistled.
