When I worked in financial aid at a local college, we'd often have fun while filing student info folders, by trying to find the funniest names. My boss won hands down one day when she ended up filing the folder for Peter Small, the best part was when she opened the folder to see what his middle name was and it started with a B, yup, Mr. Peter B. Small. :rotfl:
Another good one was the dentist aound the corner from my house years ago, Bobby Boozer DDS...not lettin him near me with a drill!
