True names from my Air Force Days. Good guys all, but interesting names.

James Blow, he had either a cousin or a brother named Joseph.

Robert Outhouse, he didn't care if you razzed him or not, as he was in charge of the Deployment Safety Briefing Board and you couldn't process through without his ok, nor go off-duty after 12 hours unless he okayed it.

Gregory Prude, but pronounced Pru-day, he was my BMTS training instructor. He used to say that he was one step away from God as far as we were concerned, and he didn't care how we "heroes" pronounced it as long as we said "SIR". His favorite expresion was "Boy, did you travel a thousand miles JUST to p*ss me off?"

found this in local obits

In my little corner of the world we have a Brick Wahl and a Rick Shaw. Brick grew up to be built somewhat like a brick wall (probably didn't have a choice w/ a name like that). We also have more than our share of Tree Beards, Whispering Pines, Star Shines, etc. Lots of the old hippies came to roost in the beautiful Okanogan Highlands.

I had a teacher at school named Paul D.i.c.k. Now that's not very funny, but he named his daughter (who also went to the school) Ofelia. Think about it

My cousin is Richard Headley - calls himself D.i.c.k.

A chinese boy a few years above me was called Eric Shun.

My penpal had a teacher named Mr. Bater.

He, He, He,

I like this thread, good fun.

Went to school with a bloke named Richard Richards, (nicknamed "Two ****s", but still didn't make him more popular with the girls).

Knew a bloke of Chinese (I think) heritage named Peter We, (P. We).

And then there's the local business man with the very apt name of;

HEY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's going on here ???????? have you lot all gone puritan or what ?????????. First it was A.S.S. (I prefer arse), and now we can't say ****S (D.I.C.K.S.).

Come on now, next you'll stop the use of the Great Aussie Adjective ............
