inexplicable names
I was in a band once.... ah, those were the days... The drummer had two cats, a black fluffy one that was shit scared of everything, called "Some socks" and a tabby called "a spaniel" don't ask me why...

oh yeah, and my Mum's cat is called FT - no, not after the paper. It stands for "Fucking Thing" It was named by a lodger, I hasten to add.

Poor Blinded Bears
Not quite the wrong words, more the wrong end of the stick, but hey...
My Grandfather (sadly now deceased) when he was a wee nipper, was quite puzzled by one of the hymns sung at his local Church. "who is Gladly the cross-eyed bear?, and what's he got to do with the church" he wondered...

[edit]
argh... someone beat me to it. *sigh*

Banbury...
where I misspent my youth, is blessed with the presence of a man who walks the same route around town every day, holding a 2 foot wooden cross in front of him, "blessing" the town... There was also a black guy who covered himself in flour, and would tell anyone who'd listen he was white really...
