Porsha Flucker--I kid you not, this is real.

I about pi$$ed my drawers when this came on the local news tonight.

They were discussing girl's b-ball as the season is starting soon. They interviewed a gal named Porsha Flucker from one of the teams in Flint.


I guess, when you really think about it, what name WOULD be safe with that surname?

Good stuff.

I went to grad school with a kid from Indonesia whose name was Ishmael Phart. To think, he is now known as Dr. Phart! BTW, his lab partner was from China...yep, the infamous Dr. Wang!

One of my Student Engineers from Korea was Dung Lam

We had a woman in Finance whose name was Helen Fry. So, if you needed help in finance, go to Helen Fry.

I work with a guy now whose name is... Harry Fagget. I thought maybe he might use a French-style pronunciation like Fah-jay, but nope. No silent letters. I think that the strangest part is he is Harry Fagget, Jr, so no one to blame but his dad. BTW, he's a martial arts expert. You'd pretty much have to be with that name.

There was a donor when I worked at the RNC, obviously a recent American citizen, named George Washington America. No joke.

Not quite as good as the others, but back in the early 90's I worked for Rockwell International and the director of our facility was named Harry Wiener.
