Does anyone know a Festus?

[Hairyfriend]

I had a customer today called Festus- he was late 20's. I've never come across this name, and initially read foetus! Does anyone know a Festus in real life?

Good god...

Yes, I knew one from school in Scotland.

🤮

grim

Nope. I originally read Foetus 😱

No

Yes. At least I've got a toy bull named Festus, I've had him since I was about 6, and I remember naming him.

Used to work with a Festus - he’d be about in his 50s

This sounds like a bad dose of an STI

Makes me think of Uncle Fester

Sounds like something that happens to you right before a body part falls off

My GP is a Festus. He's the only one I've met, and I think it's a very nice name - festive and jolly.

Name of former president or PM of Botswana (can't remember his last name but the first name stuck!)

I have only heard of Festus the Dragon

You can just imagine his nieces and nephews shouting him: Uncle Festus!!

I also read that as foetus 😬

@memberofsomebadclubs it was Festus Mogae - only Festus I've really heard of either!

No!

Makes me think of Uncle Fester too!

Yes, but he was born in another country, continent even.

I also read that as foetus !

Like uncle fester ??

Festus- patron saint of Festivus for the rest of us?

It's from a poem by Philip James Bailey if I remember correctly. Was very famous in its day.
