I was watching the TV news last night & they did a piece about the visit to Korea of Deputy Minister, Fleur Pellerin, who was born there but adopted as a baby & raised in France. The Korean guy that greeted her & was interviewed by the news crew was called "Park Won-Soon." I was rolling around on the couch laughing with my juvenile sense of humour, Mme G gave me "that look". You lot got any more? Real ones that is, not made up. |

OK.. google ain't spilling the beans. I know "fleur" means flower but is her name some kind of "praline" deal? |

I used to manage allocation of a high end wine. One of the sales reps that I dealt with on a regular basis (back on the North East coast) was named Seth Poole Jr. I never could understand why a man that grew up known as "Cesspool" would pass that along to his son. |

said with bad obligatory and highly unPC forced Asian meme accent it maybe along the lines of Crem Sung Yung Guya but that is just my guess - it is difficult in type; and I wasn't sure that was the 'joke' either - thus the '?' |

I knew a girl who's last name was Wetnight. She married and changed it to Moore. She should have done the hyphen thing. |

Years ago a dealership body shop I worked for had a customer named Fanny Matter. I thought it was a joke, but he made the phone book. Then there was the old guy by the real legal name of Harry Dickout, he came in his Buick. I know,I know....."came in his Buick".....true story.....that is how he got there, it was a Buick dealership after all. |

I knew you guys wouldn't let me down. For those of you who don't get the "Park one soon" thing, "Going to park one" is another euphemism for taking a dump, & "I'd like to park one in her garage" is pretty obvious. |

At work one day I was having a hard time getting off the line to use the restroom. I finally told the team leader there is one in the tube and I'm dilated to 7. |

Chanda Leir; she married so fast it was ridiculous - Richard Flatt - of course we never called him Ricky Jill Downs - not really that funny, but she was teased relentlessly for 'going down' kids are cruel - they will tease just to tease - until they get their @ss handed to them for it. I used to get guff for my adopted last name for years - until I finally nailed a pencil into the leg of the lead bully they pretty much left me alone after that. |

I've heard of Dick Farmer's Harley-Davidson and Dick Parker Ford. Had a business card from back in the day from James E. Boner. I guess there were reasons he didn't go by Jim E. Boner or Jimmy Boner... I went to high school with a chap named Keith Knopf, and a bunch of us thought if he ever had a son he should be named Jack Knopf... |

Mr_grumpy Posted on Tuesday, March 26, 2013 - I knew you guys wouldn't let me down. For those of you who don't get the "Park one soon" thing, "Going to park one" is another euphemism for taking a dump, & "I'd like to park one in her garage" is pretty obvious. I'm usually the last one to laugh. But, I got the innuendo and double entendre straight away. And, the phrase is not colloquial to so. cal., at least not in my circle of friends. |
