The names people have...

[Nesikep]

I've always had a laugh a people's names when they're coupled to their profession, or somehow in context...

Our newspaper Country life in BC has a financial columnist... His name is Glen CHEATER

Canadian cigarettes have big warnings on them, one of them a woman dying of cancer... Her name was Barb TARBOX

There was a marine captain who had his boat sunk underneath him... 3 times... Somehow, his name was Cpt SINKUM

One that I'm pretty sure is a alias.. A gardening columnist in the Western Producer, her name was ROSE JARDINE (That's pretty close to french for "Garden")

There've been lots more over the years.. those are the ones that stuck out in my mind... Have you seen any others?

Back when I was 16 one of my first jobs was phone surveys. One call was to a Polynesian lady named Phat Bytch. I kid you not. And she did the entire survey

OK. I don't mean to get political here in any way. Our President is our president. Done. However, I just think that there is some ironic humor in the signature at the bottom of the president's long form birth certificate from Hawaii. The "Local Registrar" signed the form at the bottom, and I swear, it looks like his name is " U K le Lee".

No politics - just funny.

For a brief period I though I wanted to do something other than agriculture with my life and so I went through the police academy. There was a guy that was built like a brick $hithouse... over 6' and probably pushing three hundred without an ounce of fat on him with a nose that looked like it had been broken a few times and a scar down his cheek... His last name was Beetzem- as in Officer Beetzem.
He was actually a really nice guy and scored really well on everything he did but as of graduation he was one of only a few that didn't have a job waiting for him and none of the agencies he applied at could really tell him why they didn't hire him. It's almost like hiring him would be a PR nightmare or something.
