We all see them all the time, but do you have real people that you know or see/hear all the time in your community that have a name/occupation combo that is funny.
We have a weather man in Charlotte whose name is Larry Sprinkle. Also there used to be an insurance rep whose last name was Klutz.
Also back home there was a guy whose Finnish name translated to English was Woodpecker and he was a lumber jack. Also a guy whose translated name was Cop and he was a cop.

Related to Nano's.....
A few years back at a Honda dealership in Raleigh, the salesman who sold us a van, was named Harry Ball. I almost spit my complimentary coke out of my mouth when he introduced himself for the first time...

My Mom went to highschool with a guy who's last name was Schmuckler (schmuck is yiddish for the male anatomy), and he went on to become a gynocologist.

When I broke my leg the doctor in the emergency room was: Dr Blewitt. I was like "uhhh....maybe I'll get someoone else to set the leg...."
The dogcatcher in town when my mom was growing up was: Harry ----....not job-related but he was madhatter crazy, kept his pee in jars. Why would you name your kid that??
Seriously tho...If I have a baby and it's a girl I'm considering Anna....making her Anna Graham ;)

These are friggin hilarious!!
Spidey, I remember Larry Sprinkle, but I thought he got fired!
We has a kid in the army and his last name was Major. So, while I knew him he was private major, but he could have gone to college and went for lieutenant major!! That's be awesome.
Oh and we had a corporal Klinger! Very rarely saw the corporal rank, but I had the rare occasion to see a Klinger.

This isnt a name occupation match, but i swear there is an optomitrist in the city i grew up in who's name is Richard Peter Weiner! Yep thats right. I went to school with his daughter she could not wait to get married.
In grade school we used to get these pencils from him, they were rainbow colored and said Dr Richard Weiner... so the mature kids we were we would sharpen the the pencil till the ric in richard was gone. oh nostalgia

I went to high school with a girl named Holly Bush. This is not a joke.
I wonder what occupation she went into...

We used to have an electrician at my work named Harry Johnson (no lie). What that has to do with being an electrician I have no idea.

Also used to drive past a dentists office with the last name of "Paine".

The doctor I went to see about getting snipped is named doctor Baldock. I'm not joking. His nickname is the weenie king.
