[sporran]

The sign pictured is in fact a real street sign from Conisbrough in the Ku. The residents complained so much they got it changed to, Archers Way,

[rayray086]

How can you not realise something like this when you name a street?

[mikepologti]

well its not a name your gonna forget atleast lol...........not sure what to make of the car............maybe im missing somthing here, but i honestly dont get what all you guys are seeing in it at all.

[gerhard]

Plenty more weird names in England. When this street was named, Butt did not mean backside. Butt is an Americanism, they have weird names too - fanny does not mean what it does to colloquial Strine...

bit off topic.

I got an email the other day, from MANHOOD Bob!

I assumed it was some spam for p3nis extension or viagra, and wondered why the spam filter hadnt zapped it.

Turns out it was a very legitimate business email from Bob Manhoodj:

and i thought you poor sucker, would want to kill your parents for that one, and I actually wondered how many of his emails actually made it through to the intended recipeint, versus ending up in the spam-bin

Do these people think before naming their children? Or do they just take a stab in the dark and hope for the best?....

My English teacher once told me of a girl named Ophelia **** (synonym for the male genitals, rhymes with Mick). Apparently her parents were hippies from the Sunshine Coast.

[Mr Messy]

I've met a Wayne Coates.

[gareth_oau]

as opposed to Wayne Kerr?

I went to school with richard hedley (seriously!).

He was, however, so tough, that nobody even thought to call him d**k, let alone actually say it

[Treza360]

There's a Woolybutt St over in Algester here. Got voted funniest street name in Brisbane on one of the local radio shows.

A good looking man walked into an agent's office in Hollywood and said 'I
want to be a movie star.'

Tall, handsome and with experience on Broadway, he had the right
credentials.

The agent asked, 'What's your name?'


The guy said, 'My name is Penis van Lesbian.'

The agent said, 'Sir, I hate to tell you, but in order to get into Hollywood
, you are going to have to change your name.'

'I will NOT change my name! The van Lesbian name is centuries old, I will
not disrespect my grandfather by changing my name. Not ever.'


The agent said, 'Sir, I have worked in Hollywood for years....you will NEVER
go far in Hollywood with a name like Penis van Lesbian! I'm telling you,
you will HAVE TO change your name or I will not be able to represent you.'

'So be it! I guess we will not do business together' the guy said and he
left the agent's office.

FIVE YEARS LATER... The agent opens an envelope sent to his office.

Inside the envelope is a letter and a check for $50,000. The agent is
awe-struck, who would possibly send him $ 50,000? He reads the letter
enclosed...


'Dear Sir, Five years ago, I came into your office wanting to become an
actor in Hollywood , you told me I needed to change my name. Determined to
make it with my God-given birth name, I refused. You told me I would never
make it in Hollywood with a name like Penis van Lesbian. After I left your
office, I thought about what you said. I decided you were right. I had to
change my name. I had too much pride to return to your office, so I signed
with another agent. I would never have made it without changing my name, so
the enclosed check is a token of my appreciation.

Thank you for your advice.


Sincerely,

Di?k van Dyke

I went to school with a girl by the name of Skye McLeod.

When I was born, my mother was in the maternity ward with a woman who'd named her son Miles. Their surname was Long.

Andrew Peacock's another great one (particularly if you call him Drew for short).

[Markybhoy]

How's about these:
There's a place called 'Twatt' in the Shetlands of Scotland and a street called 'The Knob' in Kings Sutton, England. But my fav has to be 'Wet Beaver Creek' in Arizona - a beautiful place to spend time lol.

I also know 2 people called Ewan Kerr and I used to work with a woman called Shona Butt :biggrin:

[mikepologti]

the only real thing youve gotta look out for at wet beaver creek is all the crabs :wasntme:

my brother went to school with a dude named justin beavers, the thing is though is that he could fight, so know one picked on him,.........well not for long anyway lol

[VisionaryVr6]

[Markybhoy]

If only, I'd be getting my order in! Just had a look at what he does - he's 'timesheet controller' (yawn) for one of the biggest engineering firms on the planet. Not quite in keeping with his p*rn star name :duh:

We had a teacher at school who's full name was Rob Mike Hunt.....I know you dont like the 'c' word gareth, but we found it hilarious when we read it in the previous year's year book :P

[gareth_oau]

True gravey, oh I can still have a chuckle at the Mikes out there tho LOL

I do recall that "Mike Hunt" was a "character" on the orginal "Porkies" movie

The headmaster at my brothers junior school was a rather unfortunate double barrel surname... Shaw-Twilley. Why he never changed it to Twilley-Shaw is beyond me, but at an all-boys school you can imagine the behind-his-back teasing that happened.
