Watch the Kenosha jokes! My great grandfather was born there! (Sounds like it hasn't changed much since then, 1856? :-)

I still enjoy the story of the maintenance guy at the engineering company where I worked in college whose name was Harry. He was constantly being paged over the intercom and unfortunately his last name was Ferry. I think I'd rather be a "boy named Sue". My favorite though is the story my brother tells of when he was in the Air Force and there was a guy; large, muscular guy; who went by his initials only, P.D. Lastname. No one knew what the initials stood for but something like a day before he was due to get out, someone saw his records, what with all the release paperwork, and his mother had named him Precious Darling!
