Drguano Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Could be worse. I've come across not one but two women working for the company with the same name: Latrina
Ken Gargett Posted January 5, 2016 Author Posted January 5, 2016 Could be worse. I've come across not one but two women working for the company with the same name: Latrina i dread to ask what the company made. best "name" i heard was when the great west indian batsman, Brian Lara, named his daughter Sydney, as that was the city where he scored his first century. his former teammate and another great west indian player, Michael Holding, was commenting on TV when it was announced. quick as a flash, Holding says, in the most deadpan voice, "thank god, he wasn't batting in Lahore". 4
RolandHeadlessGunner Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 I was raised in Iowa, which is crazy about high school basketball. I remember as a kid listening to the state tournament on the radio in the '60s and being dumbstruck that the star was named Fonda Dicks. I am not making this up. "Fonda Dicks, driving to the baseline! She's up! She shoots! It's in!" In fact, after all those years I recently doubted my memory of something so perfect, so I looked it up on the internet and, yes, I had remembered correctly. How the radio announcers made it through that game without cracking up I will never know. 1

Warren Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 One of my favorite names belonged to an American girl who was a swimmer and Olympic champ. Misty Hyman. I bet she copped her fair share of ribbing growing up.
Colt45 Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 I bet she copped her fair share of ribbing growing up. Not as much as her brother, Buster. 2

I've come across not one but two women working for the company with the same name: Latrina Reminds me of a line from the Mel Brooks movie Robin Hood: Men in Tights: Prince John: Such an unusual name, "Latrine." How did your family come by it? Latrine: We changed it in the 9th century. Prince John: You mean you changed it TO "Latrine"? Latrine: Yeah. Used to be "Shithouse." Prince John: It's a good change. That's a good change! 2
