Who knows people with memorably appropriate names, like Mary Christmas, Minnie Moore, or my favorite Math Maddox?

I'm sure he heard a lot of "Les is Moore" jokes. I know a Darren Luck. He's in sales. I suggested he use the motto "Luck is on your side" on his business cards. He thought it was beneath his dignity. I told him to put it beneath his name. As luck would have it, Luck would have nothing to do with it.

I told her the romance was over. She looked puzzled, and asked why. I said: "Say it fast several times." Ten second delay and I got belted.

Oh, and Mr Virgin and Mr Angel lived next door to each other, which was a really strange coincidence. Both those family names derive from actors who played those roles in the old morality plays. Neither name was appropriate in the least as it happened.

You will need to know what a "john" is on this side of Atlantic, Rhubarb, to appreciate this true story. You probably know that Johnny Carson was the host of "The Tonite Show" for almost 20 years and every nite his sidekick Ed McMahon opened the Show with "Here's Johnnie". There was a company in California at the time that rented portable water closets (as you call them) for use on construction sites. The owner of this company painted "Here's Johnnie" on all his portables and renamed his company "Here's Johnnie" as well. Johnnie Carson was not amused. He sued the guy and those portable johns are nameless again.
