My dad had a client whose last name was Cruiser, so they always joked around in the office (client being unaware, of course) that his first name should be Petey, as in PT Cruiser... Well, one day he calls my dad in the office and my dad is like "Hi, Pe... er, Mr. Cruiser."

I knew a guy when I was in Basic Training named Peter Johnson. The drill sergeants loved that!

I know 2 Weiners and they both have the same first name. They both pronounce it "Why Ner"

That is the correct pronunciation of that name. In German it's the second vowel that gets the long vowel sound.

No joke. Never met her though.
The town 10 miles north of my city named Sexsmith.
No joke.

There is an indian (or aboriginal) that is thinking of suing the Edmonton police for excessive force due to a tazer incident.

His name is Randy Fryingpan.

Interesting. She is Canadian. Perhaps there is a link?

I once knew this Canadian girl from Regina. She hated saying she was from Regina.

In college, I had a class with a Buffy Drinkwine. Her IQ was that of a glass of wine but her body was smokin'.
