Unbelievable, that is in an episode of M*A*S*H! Season 11 I believe, when they have 3 diplomats from other countries come and visit. The diplomat from India teaches Col. Potter and Klinger to meditate and they say this phrase over and over and over!
Here's a name I've not heard in a long time...a long time. My good friends up in Bainbridge Island had neighbors with the last name of Raider, no shitting, they named their son Darth. Boooooooooo Hissssssssssssssssss!
The Borg wouldn't know fun if they assimilated an Amusement Park.
Norman Bates of Psycho fame actually grew up quite rich. His family lost their fortune and bought a deserted hotel only after the great canary market crash of 1938. The reason he went nuts is, as a child, he was constantly referred to as "Master Bates" by the family butler.
Poor Cedric became his first victim.

There was a guy in high school with the last name of Bates.
One day someone came into class with a note for him, and when the teacher called for him, she asked for Mister Bates.

my buddy works in radio, and he has a CUSHY paid gig (outside of but connected to his normal job, only not on salary and syndicated which means cha-ching in radio) doing something called "the men's health show"- it's SUPPOSED to be a call-in show for men's health, only it specifically focuses on erectile difficulties, and in fact is paid for by Cealis so is actually a commercial for Viagara (he jokingly calls it his penis show- he thinks its retarded but the money is sick and the gig is one hour a week)
That reminds me: there's a neighborhood near where I used to live in Richmond called Morningside Woods, with one of those nice signs at the entrance. Quite often, people would vandalize it overnight and remove several letters so it said "Morning Wood." After a year or so, it seems like they stopped trying to fix it.

This one's more subtle than the usual funny names. At work, we keep all our customers' names in the computer for reference, and we can write memos on their accounts (for example, "Customer must pay late fee next time he comes in"). So on Saturday this tall dude walks in. And by tall, I mean pushing seven feet. He had to be at least 6ft8. So as I'm ringing him up at the register, I see on his account that his last name is Thalman. And on his memo screen I saw that someone wrote "Now that certainly is a "Thal man". Jesus, I almost lost it right there. I later found out that my night manager wrote the memo a couple of years ago.
Shit, man, I had a friend take a movie back to Blockbuster that I'd rented. He turned it in a few hours late for some reason. They didn't even try to call me; I just got a notice three weeks later that it was being sent to collections.

This guy didn't have a late fee. It's just that the memos were mainly created for stuff like that, but if the customer's an asshole, we'll make a note of that just for kicks. We also write positive things on the memo screens too.
