I always wondered if it was deliberate :o

I used to know a John Thomas. But not everyone gets that one unless they're familiar with the many many pseudonyms for a man's penis.

I used to work in a blood transfusion centre, and at the time of all the AIDS scares when insurance companies were being painful if you even had an HIV test, we would get several "donors" with false names who were just trying for a free and unregistered HIV test. Several Donald Ducks and Mickey Mouses - easy to spot. Then I had a Carey Oakey and was sure it was another - but no! Apparently an established donor!

I was Hmm at "nutella" but then considered that I know two teenagers called Honey, which is also something you spread on toast.

Years ago some friends and I met a woman who was pregnant with identical twin girls. We asked her what she was planning to call them and she said "Tulip and Honeysuckle". We chortled a bit and then said "no, what are you really going to call them?" and she said "Tulip and Honeysuckle" and didn't speak to us sgain Hmm

I knew an Antony Pratt. So he was A Pratt. Not really that funny but he did get a bit of stick for it bless him. Nice kid too.
