Inspired a few years ago by the scene in the Simpson's in which Bart looks in a phone book for funny names and comes up with A Gorilla, I have developed a habit of looking for humorous names in any phone book I find.
Some of the more memorable names I've found include, D Scully, C Mein and S Klaus. I know, I know it's with a K but it still made me laugh.
But I think this tops it.
I didn't believe it when I first saw it. I had to double check that it was a real phone book. But there it was. Staring at me.
Could it really be the messiah?
What would he be doing in the suburbs? Does he work a 9 - 5 job, have a mortgage and a dog?
Could it be that after nearly two millennia of prays he's decided to get himself a phone line? Little bit of communication with his flock?
I haven't as yet mustered up the gonads to call the number and ask for salvation. But rest assured it will happen this weekend.
And...
Has anyone else ever found strange names in the phone book?

Christ is a fairly common name in my area.
It's pronounced "krisst".

We have a Mary Minge on our books.
That's 'Mrs' as opposed to 'Miss', so I'm assuming she must have married a Minge.
I'm sure she's very pround to be a Minge, and that the family come from a long line of Minges.
Can't wait until the Minge line crosses the border into Scotland.
The McMinge family would be legend.

You show yourself to be a considerate soul blotting out those names and numbers. Well played.

There is a guy who writes letters to the editor pretty frequently called "John X. Berlin", which I happen to think is the coolest name ever, and have used as an alias on several occasions.

Ok...two true stories.
My first year of teaching I had a kid whose name was Okie Good. After I got to know him I asked him him jokingly if his middle name was Dokie. Yep....Okie Dokie Good. What were his parents thinking of???
The other person I/we constantly bugged as kids (before caller ID) was Harry Ball. We called this poor guy nearly daily.

I did that once. You can find all sorts of curses and bugs. I don't remember what else I found, but for some reason the word "vomit" comes to mind.
