Wife and I were in LAX a few years back waiting for a flight. The woman working the counter comes over the PA asking for "Passenger...." and then she would giggle. She did it like 3 times before another woman took the mic and said, "Folks, we're looking for a passenger King Kong" and this little asian dude walked up.

I love funny names since my own name set me up for roughly a brazilian jokes. I used to scour phone books and obits for the best. And I found a great one which I often shared. Until the owner of the funny name (which I'd found in an obit) turned out to have been the beloved nanny of the person I was joking around with. -Waiter, call me a cab. I'm leaving.

There used to be a Cardinal Sin in the Philippines.

There was a kid one year below us and is last name was Zweiner. So it doesn't really matter what his first name was (Think it was daniel) because anytime you said it it sounded like you were saying 's weiner.

Never understood Richard Head, Jr.
After all the abuse dad had to endure, why would you give that name to your son?
I guess if you were hoping to be called "Big" Dick but can't see the advantage to "Big" Dick Head with my son, "Little" Dick Head.
