Parents are cruel
I was in a bus queue once and while ideal waiting for the bus this chavy woman behind me was shouting at one of her children to stop acting the goat (as my mum would say) the conversation went like this.

"Oii Leisure stop being a cunt or i'll lamp you one".

I bit my lip so hard it bled.

At Heriot-Watt University (or Hairy Twat as it was known)
I knew a lad called Dickon Head, sounds like I made this up but it is true. His dad was called Richard, so no doubt he wanted his son to suffer the same taunting at school that he no doubtedly suffered from.

Frankly I wouldn't believe this either, but ...
A plastic pipe salesman once gave me his business card. His name? Isaac Cox. Quality.

I also work with a Mike Hunt. Respect due, he's never tried to cover it with an embarased Michael, always introduces himself as Mike.

- Oh yes, and I went to school with a Septic called:
Vancer Hollingsworth IV jnr. Could only be an American really couldn't it? We don't really do that 'the 4th', or Snr/ Jnr business over here. Easy to see why, really, when you end up with a fucking stupid sounding cunt of a name like that.
