Epictetus Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Do you know people or things that have humorous names? There is a library in Texas called the "Butt Holdsworth Library." There is a lawyer in my hometown whose last name is "Lawless." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evalynn Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) There was a professor at my college in Rhode Island named Dr. Richard Weiner. Naturally, everyone called him D.i.c.k.* Weiner. (*I find it funny that a once common nickname, even of a former vice president, is considered a swear on this site.)

evalynn Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 There was a Chinese restaurant in my hometown called House of Tung. There's a Thai restaurant around where I live now called Tum Rub. I'm sure the latter is an intentional pun, but I still have no idea about the former. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reminds me, in elementary school we had a gym teacher named Miss Me. One day some of the kids in my class started saying, "Hey, Miss Me, did you miss me?" She started telling us about some of the funny names of her family members: Mary Me, Sue Me, Carrie Me... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
