Okay...here's a step in the right direction that I got from David Feldman:



<< This goes all the way back to the 13th Century, the Magna Carta, and English Law. John Doe was stipulated as the plaintiff, and Richard Roe as the defendant. I don't think anyone knows how those names were originally chosen. >>


Now...let's keep on going

I dunno, but I do that one day my mom's former boss went to Rite Aid to pick up a prescription.
He had a pretty goofy sense of humor and decided to have a laugh with the pharmacist.

So he said with a feigned accent:
"I need to pick up a prescription."
--"What's your name?"
"Chondriac. Hypo Chondriac."
--"Does that start with a 'K'?"
