I work as a computer help guy. I get to meet a lot of people. Incidentally, I get to meet a lot of people with a lot of different names. The other day, I had a customer. His name was Mr. _______ Colon.
Not pronounced as "Cologne." No, it was colon. Mr. Colon, to you. And I thought to myself.. there is no way I could ever take the last name of Colon.

Could you?

What's your name?
Sandy.
Sandy what?
Runs away.

We had a client called Mr Dick. First name, Richard.

I had a school mate called Harry Butt and at another school, there was a Joseph King. He went by Joe.

One of my childhood friends was Richard Head. I think his dad must've either a. hated him or b. had no clue. He actually was Richard Head the II.

I am not kidding when I say I knew a kid in school with the first name of - s h i t h e a d. It was pronounced shih-thayed. I wanted to slap his parents.

That being said, I've seen all sorts of funny last names. Phallus was a funny one. Seriously, Phallus. I'd take my chances with Colon than Phallus.

A girl said she wanted to marry me for my last name and she was serious about it and had a crazy expression in her eyes.
