There was a dentist in a nearby town who was Dr. Kruel (he retired). My doctor when I was a kid was Dr. Skaar (at least he wasn't a plastic surgeon). There's also an infectious disease physician I know who's name is Dr. Bugge.

I went to high school with Harold and his sister Sissy. Their last name was Balls. Harry is now happily married to Maya Bigge. She kept her own last name, and refuses to hyphenate. (=

Harry's best friend's name was Moby Richard (aka Dick) Long. people never tired of asking him 'where's captain ahab??' of course, the girls got many hours of snickering and wondering about the 'Long' bit.

also, there are two veterinarians in Minnesota that i used to take my dog to-
Dr. Hotvet and Dr Toogood. really. they're still practicing, and in the yellow pages.

The kid that sat in front of me all through high school was Thomas Peter Cox. He was obnoxious and I wacked him across the head a couple of times.

The Dr. that did one of my friends DNC was Dr. Mold.

Cheers,
Kathy

My ex-in-laws are medical case managers. One of their clients was a quadruple amputee, last name "Stumpp." For real.

A couple of doctors from Spokane:

Dr. Craig Bone

Dr. Milan Jeckle (and yes, we do have several Mr. Hydes in town.)

When I worked in Directory Assistance at the phone company there was one customer who used to get a real kick out of calling and asking for "Ben Dover."

Too bad he didn't have four names. The first being John.

And what's wrong with the forenames 'John Thomas'?

That's a rhetorical question by the way. I've been aware of the problem with bearing that name most of my life.

there is a famous swiss orthopaedic surgeon, his name is dr. morscher. morsch is the german word for decaying, rotten. like you know, in the woods, when logs get very soft, that softness is called: morsch.

i used to have a dentist, his name was dr savic.

Since we've migrated to funny doctor names....
My daughter's pediatrician is Dr. Havoc....truth be told, that's why I chose him off our list of insured doctors!

In western MA, I once lived on a short side street with no exit on the other end. Thus the street sign was "Graves Ave." - "Dead End"

Many governments, companies etc. produce reports with the phrase "New Directions" in the title. Years ago, someone pointed out that if you say it quickly a couple of times it takes on an entirely different meaning.
