I was contacted by someone in Maryland by the name of Corky Tardface. I have to think one of my taxidermy counterparts may be pulling my leg.

What'd you think? Can this be a real name?

Cecil -- Just Google "Tardface" and I think you'll get your answer.

Well, he doesn't sound like the guy from Angola who is sitting on $30 Million from some dead person's estate and needs your banking information.

Dificult to know, so many odd names around.
I had a odd experience years ago with a customer.
I was supposed to meet him at the airport but got stuck in a trafic jam, so by the time I got to the airport his plane had landed and ewerybody was thru custom/pasport control, so my sign "Steve Koock" didn't help.
I ran over to the information desk and asked the girl sitting there to adress him on the PA system, she did and imidiatly afterwards she slaped me in the face????????????????????
She was furiouse, I didn't understand nothing and got really mad.
Fortunatlly Steve Koock turnd up, with in minutes at the desk, so the guy was for real.
So what was it all about? Well "Steve Koock" means "hard on" in norwegian, so the girl behind the desk thaugt that I had made her anaounce will mr. hard on plase come to the information desk on the first floor.

thats hilarious

Sounds like the old prank where you call up a bar and ask them to page .....

One of my favorites is to call a restaurant and ask them if they have frog legs. When the reply is, "yes," you respond with, "How do you get your pants on in the morning?"

Or ask if they can page Steve Wall. When they come back and say,"no," you say, "Well if Steve isn't there I'll bet Joe is there." You keep it up and when the pager finally says, "There are no walls here," you reply with, "You better get the hell out of there as the ceiling is going to come in any minute!"

I actually knew someone with the name .....

He ran a circle burner, I believe in modified stock, at the Berlin Raceway. He did add a constant in the third position in his last name that was hard to flub up. But when the announcer had his face stuffed... well ...

May I please speak with Amanda Huggenkiss?

"Hey! Anybody here by the name of Amanda Huggenkiss!?? I need Amanda Huggenkiss!"

Maybe you should lower your standards.
