Thought id share this with you as im sure some of you will find it as funny as i did when I saw it on a trip to the hospital for a check up

I was walking down the corridor (as y'do) and a name on one of the door plates caught my eye. I had to look a few times as i was convinced the pills theyd given me where making me hallucinate and i even had to ask an orderly if i was seeing things and it turned out i wasnt, infront of me in two inch hight letters read.

Dr Bong

well it made me laugh

The only thing to do in that situation is find this doctor, stick a tube up his nose, pack some weed into his ear & away you go... :mrgreen:

In my last job I came came across a Mr Takel who owned a shop selling angling supplies & a Ms. Goodbody who owned a beauty salon.
:lol:
Tragically, neither saw fit to exploit this humourous coincidence when naming their business

Today I was driving behind an old ambulance with the registration plate K999 SAD.

I haven't made this up. Equally true was that another car cut in between me and it, and its registration was H600 GOB. Not as funny but I still laughed. Mind you, I had just left the dentist and compared to that anything's funny.

When I was a kid there was a local skip company called MYTUM which used to raise the odd chuckle!

Seriously.

And then there's the Kent villages of "Badgers Mount" and "Pratts Bottom". And the place on Orkney called "Twatt".

Who needs TV why you can look at an atlas? :lol: :roll:

This holiday centre always makes me giggle

The fact that one of its "Latest News" headlines is "Tim gets his hands on Sandy Balls" makes me think they cant be as innocent as they want to appear....

There's a village in the Lake District called Wigtwizzle.

My English teacher at school (female) regretted telling the class that she was moving to another place in the Lakes called Cockermouth.

Also, I told a Londoner mate I shared with at Uni that I lived near a place called Goole & he thought I was making it up - I had to show him a road atlas to prove it. I didn't even think it was that funny. :?

The best one has to be a customer at the mortgage company I worked for who's name was Roger Mashita. Say it quickly... :lol: Everyone was convinced it was a wind-up but the mortgage was completed & we wired £150k or so to him!

Oh, and another one - the sixth-form college I studied at had a visiting academic from Houston, Texas who gave a talk in the history department. His name was Randy Wankstaffe.

There was also some backroom guy on Buffy, whose job i forget, called Brian Wankum, which sounds like a dirty command to me.
