What's In A Name?

[wombat2u2004]

Years ago I was working for a mining company as a prospector, searching for copper. We always worked in teams of two, a geologist and an assistant....I was the assistant and worked with a geologist by the name of John Smith.

One day we found ourselves about 100 miles away from base camp, with still more work to complete in the area we'd been designated.
So rather than take the long drive back, we decided to stay in a motel in a tiny little outback town.

When we were booking in, the innkeeper asked our names.....John replied "John Smith", I replied "John Browne".....we got some pretty weird looks from the innkeeper....LOLOL

I had a classmate named Kim Hoar...poor thing. I worked with a guy named Long Wang. I couldn't say his name without blushing. He had no clue!

I had a typing teacher in high school named Mr. Fagg. When I was having surgery my anesthesiologist sp? was Dr.Hoar. At work there's a Dr. Karen Ho that sends us work. There's a co-worker who's name is Rick Little and he said that his dad's first name was Richard but he went by Dick. His name is also Richard but of course he refuses to go by Dick so it's Rick instead. I sure don't blame him. We used to have an employee named Hung Lo. I'm not sure how it was spelled though. He was a very short guy too.

My brother-in-laws name was Bill Smith. My sister was 15 years younger than he. She said they always got the "Oh suuuure" look when they registered at a motel on vacation as "Mr. and Mrs. Bill Smith". LOL

My SO's pediatricians were named Dr. Cutting and Dr. Burns! He had a professor named Dr. Brain.

Where was it, I think Twickenham, Middlesex, England, I saw a funeral home with morticians named Wake and Paine, as the sign in front said.

There was a pet grooming salon in Milwaukee allegedly owned by a Mr. G. Howard Barks, or G. Howie Barks.
