When I was growing up there was a local barber shop owned by a man named J.B. Christmas. Of course he named his daughter Mary. <(true)

There's a political commentator by that name as well. I've never understood how parents can do that to a child. I went to highschool with a Taryn Sheets.
 
My dentist is Dr. Pullen. Third (or maybe fourth) generation -- all Dr. Pullens.
 
There was a local urologist specializing in vasectomies named Dr. Hurter.
 
Jack Frost was a highly decorated Admiral, graduate of the Naval Academy. He enjoyed his unique name combination.

A high school classmate's father was an orthodontist: Dr. Bracey.

When I was in college, there was a lady named Bunny Fried that worked at an admin position in the student union. The staff directory was posted last name first: "FRIED BUNNY"

I used to work with someone who was born on Dec. 25th. Her name, of course, was Merri.

Reminds me of some of the unfortunate email addresses I see when they use firstinitiallastname or other variations. I won't post because they are customer relationships, but what are the IT guys thinking?

Used to work at a large multi-national corporation. Back in the olden days, they used PROFS for internal email (you could get outside, but not without effort.) Name was first initial, last name, numbers if there were duplicates (like SSmith15) truncated as necessary because only 8 characters were allowed.

When I left in 2012, Email names were still limited to the 8 characters so, they were up to, like, SSmi1234

I recall when our place first installed automated access gates. You had to punch in your personal numeric code to enter. A four digit code. And we had over 8000 employees at that site.

You could punch in almost any random four digit number and the gate would open.
 
I went to public school with guy named Seven. He had 6 older siblings: Six, Five, Four, Three, Two and One.

They all had Biblical middle names and went by their middle names.

In West Virginia I met a guy named Senator. His ambition in life was to be a professional weed whacker operator.
 
Reminds me of the Denise & Denephew story ...

(these latest post might be worthy of their own thread) :dunno:
 
Still trying to get my head around the fact that 'Take Out' can mean food, dating, or murder.

The older I get, the more I understand why roosters scream to start their day.

Being popular on Facebook is like sitting at the 'cool table' in the cafeteria of a mental hospital.

You know you're over 50 when you have 'upstairs ibuprofen' and 'downstairs ibuprofen.’

If only vegetables smelled as good as bacon.

I woke up this morning determined to drink less, eat right, and exercise. But that was four hours ago when I was younger and full of hope.

Anyone who says their wedding was the best day of their life has clearly never had two candy bars fall down at once from a vending machine.

The biggest joke on mankind is that computers have begun asking humans to prove they aren't a robot.

When a kid says "Daddy, I want mommy" that's the kid version of "I'd like to speak to your supervisor.”

Just once, I want a username and password prompt to respond, "CLOSE ENOUGH.”

If Adam and Eve were Cajuns they would have eaten the snake instead of the apple and saved us all a lot of trouble.

We celebrated last night with a couple of adult beverages ...... Metamucil and Ensure.

Weight loss goal: To be able to clip my toenails and breathe at the same time.

Some of my friends exercise every day. Meanwhile I am watching a show I don't like because the remote fell on the floor.

For those of you that don't want Alexa or Siri listening in on your conversation, they are making a male version.... it doesn’t listen to anything.

I just got a present labeled, 'From Mom and Dad,' and I know darn well that Dad has no idea what's inside.

The pessimist complains about the wind. The optimist expects it to change. The realist adjusts his sails.

There's a fine line between a numerator and a denominator. Only a fraction of people will find this funny.

Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are.

I have many hidden talents. I just wish I could remember where I hid them.

My idea of a Super Bowl is a toilet that cleans itself.

Exercise helps you with decision-making. It's true. I went for a run this morning and decided I'm never going again.

Blessed are the young for they shall inherit the national debt.

If you get this joke you may be old. Or, went to a public school that had some really old technology.

But if you got done banging the chalk out of the erasers fast enough when you were kept inside for recess for misbehaving in class you got to turn the crank on the printing press in the fume filled room from the ink…
