    Years back when Ms. buZZsaw's son worked for me he pointed one of those out and we burst out laughing. I chuckle every time i see one and sometimes text him a pic.

    Neighboring school system's HS Principal's last name was Dickensheets, the superintendent's last name was Clitsman. I think I would. have changed my name.

    I used to get email an admin who married into the name Fimple. Its just fun saying that name.

    Worked for a guy called Michael Hunt. Had to be careful on the PA system...

    Parents can have a real sense of humor....

    I can’t believe this guy didn’t come to mind yesterday. Today when I wasn’t thinking about it it did.

    I know what it is. My mom’s family is from Pennsylvania Dutch country. I know a (relatively) common name there that, if you’re from there, you know exactly how to pronounce it and you don’t even think about it. But I once overheard someone from Washington State mispronounce it, out loud, in an office environment. It was the ultimate record scratch. Pretty much the worst word possible.

    First summer (well first two weeks of summer) out of HS, I worked for a sewer company, Unique Sewer Service, their motto on the side of the tanker, "Your $hit is our bread and butter".
