A very dumb politician
In the short time I spent in Ohio looking at colleges, I managed to hear Ohio State Representative John Galbraith say the following:
"We should abolish January and February. If we then divided the fifty-nine extra days between July and August, we will cut our energy needs by about one-third through eliminating the coldest days of the year. Cold is largely a psychological matter. If people look atthe calendar and see that it is July, they will be quite happy to turn the heat down."

The strangest thing I was ever paid for
You wouldn't believe all of the different ways the people behind this satanic ad wanted to mess with me. Paid well, though.

» People with Stupid Names

Worst Name Possible
My drama teacher once told me a story about a class he attended in an inner-city area, where you'll usually find the best joke names and this occasion was no acception. There was an African-American in his class named "Shithead."
You can imagine the teacher's embarassment during role call when she reached his hillarious monicre. Apparently, about 30 seconds of flustered silence went by until the guy just stood up and calmly informed her, "Yo, it's shi-thead."

Also, though I'm too tired to find out if someone else allready told this one, there was a couple living in South America who were cursed with the last name of Hitler. Unaware of american slang at the time, they decided that the best name for them to switch to would be Shitler.
